There is romance later. She is helped by a soldier after her escape.
They take the Oregon Trail and build a ranch after he returns from the Civil War.

She is tracked by the Cheyenne warrior who was to be her husband, to Oregon Country--she hides and kills him when he tries to capture her and take her back to the tribe.

Her husband and his troopers are trapped in an Idaho blizzard--she rides into the mountains and saves them.

The story evolves and tells of the ranch, her children, etc. Very historically accurate
