The dramatic and deadly story of a young Cheyenne, Little Healer, who becomes an apprentice to his grandfather, a revered medicine man of the Cheyenne people, who recognizes his remarkable skills regarding the application of plant remedies for healing. He is sent on a special mission by his grandfather to gather medicinal plants. Returning home, he finds that his family, except for his sister, is lost in the barbaric attack on Sand Creek, the area where they lived and he vows eternal revenge against the pony soldiers. Severe weather and circumstances lead him out of Colorado into Kansas with a sick sister where they have the good fortune to meet a kindly medical missionary, Doctor Peters, who takes them to his home and restores his sister's health with Little Healer's help. The doctor quickly recognizes Little Healer's extraordinary medical capabilities and the boy takes full advantage of learning the doctor's healing arts and medical savvy. The doctor is so impressed with the boy that he eventually recommends him for medical school back East.
