'Wind River', is a tale of the Sioux uprising along the Big Wind River, and in the Wind River Valley, the Indians call, 'Valley of the Warm Winds'. The Wind River is in the territory of Wyoming, and this story is a fictional tale from the year of 1868.

The main character, Jeb Winslow is thrust into the survival against the Sioux, Cheyenne, Arapaho, Pawnee and Ute Indians. He is a mountain man who was attacked with two of his friends, both were killed, and he was only wounded but, played dead.

The Sioux stole their furs, beaver pelts, horses and a mule, leaving him for dead. He was later picked up by a supply train from Fort Bridger to Camp Nelson, where he later became a scout for the Army.

He was, therefore, looking for pay back for his friend's death at the hands of the Sioux. Revenge, if you will.

This fictional story is set against the back drop of the Big Wind River, and the Wind River Valley. Jeb's exploits, and his endeavor to survive this tumultuous era in American history, is fanciful at best.

Though the story ends without any reconciliation between the Indian and the US Army, it still becomes clear of the dangers, hazards of the life in Wyoming in 1868, and beyond. .
