Legend of Yankee Boy Basin

By Gary S. Sloan

In the 15th century B.C., Tusami, The Great Spirit of the Nephretari Tribe, judges His people fallen but forsakes them not, to offer them deliverance entwined in a legend long held sacred in the land of the Ute Indians high among the Colorado Rockies. Set in 1880 and steeped in gold, dark hearts and enlightened souls, the Legend of Yankee Boy Basin is an iconoclastic adventure that follows Eagles of the Clouds, the Chief Elder of the ancient Nephretari, as he labors to free his people from Tusami's centuries-old revenge of hard labor and imprisonment. Using the everyday lives of a horse wrangler gone miner, a young Indian mother, and the respected chief of the Uncompahgre Ute, Eagles of the Clouds orchestrates the unfolding of the ancient legend of lost gold and horrible consequences in an attempt to save his lost tribe by way of their "Ceremony of Redemption", left unfinished so many centuries in the past.
