Love Is a Wild Assault

This is the extraordinary story of Harriet Potter - the delicate, dark-eyed girl who became a legend during the stirring days of the battle for Texan independence and who played a dramatic part in the growth and destiny of her beloved and beautiful land. Harriet Potter was many things. She was the frightened young girl, abandoned with two small children in a savage, lonely wilderness and left there to die. To the Caddo Indians living in the rich forest and lake country of Northeast Texas, she was the "kishi woman", kindred to Ina, the Earth Mother. And to others, she was "The Bravest Woman in the Republic of Texas".
