Cover Art: “The Trail Where They Cried” told the grim story of the sorrow and death that stalked the journey west. Yet the faces were stoic. As one doctor reported: “No lamentations went up from the bereaved ones here. They were of the true Indian blood … there is a dignity in their grief which is sublime.”

It made her strong.
