Description

Xavier Bird and Elijah Whiskeyjack are Cree Indians from Canada who serve as snipers on the battlefields of France in World War I. Xavier is sickened by the killing he is forced to do, but Elijah--high on morphine--finds himself perversely enjoying his role: an addiction to death that threatens his sanity. Then an incident charged with violence and betrayal leads to the end of their long friendship. Back home after the war, the pain of Xavier’s wounds--including an amputated leg--have led him to his own problem with morphine. His devoted aunt, Niska, a Cree woman who has never wavered from their traditional culture, tries to helps him to come to terms with his war experiences and to draw on the strength of his people to bring him back from the brink. THREE DAY ROAD is a powerful story with the ring of complete authenticity; it is based on the true exploits of a famous Indian World War I hero, Francis Pegahmagabow.
