Soaring Eagle is the first novel of the Santa Fe
Trail Trilogy. It is the survival adventure story
of blond, green-eyed Julio Montoya on the
Santa Fe Trail in 1845, a journey fraught with
grief, loneliness, disease, snowblindness, and death. Julio's
search for identity leads him away from his Mexican family in Taos deeply into
another life in another culture —the Cheyenne—which he embraces, then
abandons to continue the search for clues to his past at Bent's Fort.
