N2  - A novel about Molly McGill and "Margaret Kelly, [women]  who participated in the governments Brides for Indians program in 1873, a program whose conceit was that the way to peace between the United States and the Cheyenne Nation was for one thousand white women to be given as brides in exchange for three hundred horses.
