Synopsis

In Heart of a Warrior you will experience the frontier from the viewpoint of Sweet Breeze, the daughter of the acclaimed Miami Chief Little Turtle, and her husband William Wells. Known as Wild Carrot, William was raised in tribal villages after having been taken captive during his youth. You will follow his adventures as a Miami warrior, as a peace negotiator, as a scout for General Anthony Wayne, and finally as a government agent. Sweet Breeze and William are thrust into every significant event of the frontier. They ply the rivers of the Northwest Territory seeking their destiny.

A clash of two cultures confronts Sweet Breeze and William Wells with choices to be made, sometimes enthusiastically, sometimes reluctantly. Together they embody the Miami tribe s resistance to Americans pressing upon their lands.
