Description
As a young man, Ned was part of an expedition to find and free a boy who was captured by the Apaches-using an Apache girl as ransom. Ned has photographed the girl, and her narrative combines with extracts from Ned diaries to tell a story that resonates years later, and that lays bare some of the harsh truths about the American presence in the West.
