Kansas Territory, June 1866

Josephine Miller had dawdled too long fetching water that morning. She knew it had been a mistake, but hadn't been able to resist a few extra minutes of peaceful reflection on the beauty of a prairie sunrise as it lit up the purple larkspur and golden sunflowers. She'd spotted an unfamiliar insect that her fingers had itched to add to her sketchbook though there was no time during the busy mornings on the Santa Fe Trail. Now, she needed to hurry back and prayed that her father would be too busy with the wagon and the oxen to notice her tardiness....
