Larry Ray Rather

Larry Ray Rather is a fourth generation Coloradoan whose grandparents lived among and traded with the Ute Indians of southwest Colorado. His curiosity in Native American culture and history began early and inspired him to write a tale of romance and tragedy across cultural lines in the wilderness setting of Colorado in the late 1860’s. His knowledge of Ute life, paired with his understanding of horses and the mountainous terrain of Colorado, inform his exploration of people from disparate backgrounds forging deep bonds, tempered by the hardships of an unforgiving wilderness.
