Richie Swanson came of age living outside in nature, bicycling and backpacking throughout North America.

His novel First Territory (Sunstone Press 2013) depicts a 16-year-old soldier-interpreter and his love for a Yakama woman during the Yakama War in Oregon and Washington 1855-1856. “First Territory is altogether the most convincing piece of historical fiction I have ever read,” wrote Sue Ellis, Prick of the Spindle, http://www.prickofthespindle.com/page....

Numerous journals have published Richie’s short stories about Indian-white relations during the 19th century. Find links and reviews at www.RichieSwanson.com.

Indian Pictures was inspired by the “soldier-artist” Seth Eastman and his Dakota wife Stands Sacred: http://heartjournalonline.com
