When Run Through Fire, a half-white, half-Cheyenne boy, is captured in the aftermath of the Battle of the Washita, he makes a daring escape. Run Through Fire leaves his mother and the other prisoners and sets out to find his white father in a place he has heard about called Boulder, in the Colorado Territory. Along the way he meets General Custer, Buffalo Bill, and a brave and funny friend, a girl he calls “Orange Head,” and changes his name to Billy Tull, son of William Tull. In Boulder, a ghost appears and then disappears as he uncovers the secret the town thought was buried.

From the Inside Flap:
Through a strong, mixed-blood main character, Runs Through Fire/Billy Tull, Pease tells an exciting, well-written story that illustrates touches on the atrocities of American soldiers against the Native Americans. ºThe reader also glimpses of the thoughtless destruction of the plains bison herds and sees Billy outsmart Buffalo Bill. In the thrilling climax, Billy fights through his fear to clear his white father’s name. I was cheering by the end of this great story.– Barbara Steiner, author of Cry of the Loon, a middle-grade history/mystery for American Girl.
About the Author:
Elaine Pease grew up in San Rafael, California. Her home today is in Colorado. She is passionate about western history. This passion shows in her writing as she combines history and mystery to create exciting stories for young readers.
Ghost Over Boulder Creek began when she stumbled upon a real find in the archives of Boulder, Colorado, newspapers. In 1867, the local sheriff and deputy reported seeing a ghost by Boulder Creek. The ghost story tied in with the timing of the Washita River Massacre, Buffalo Bill’s time as an army scout in Colorado, and other important events and people. Weaving fact and fiction, Elaine created a story around a survivor of the massacre—a half-Cheyenne, half-white boy named Run Through Fire.
Elaine is the author of two picture books, I’ll Never Leave and Even Sharks Need Friends, which she also illustrated.
