The novel “A horse and a bottle of whiskey” deals with culture clash and inequality, between the Indians and the white people. The story takes place in the fall of 1869 where the ambitious and self-sufficient Frank Isabel settles in the Yellow Hills. After a while he gets lonely and gives up his hope to find a white woman, therefore he buys an Indian girl for a horse and a bottle of whiskey in the nearby reservation. Soon the Indian girl is expecting a child and he marries her in the traditional white way, just before she gives up birth to their son. The Indian girl is more than Frank had expected her to be, she is emphatic, has a sense of humour, is a quick learner and neat, but she has an iron will and will not act like a white woman, neither speak English.
One day Frank discovers houses and roads far off, and he realizes that the civilization had come to the wilderness. Some of the trappers in the Yellow hills begin to send their squaws and half-breed children back to the reservation because they are ashamed. Frank tells to the Indian girl, that he is not ashamed of her and the other squaw trappers are fools and to prove it he takes her to the town. He forgets her customs and she follows behind him with her face lowered, and Frank starts to feel a line bettewn him and the other men because he is married to an Indian girl
With the half-breaded son come some troubles. Frank wants the boy to be raised as a white boy and the Crow woman wants him to be raised like an Indian. The crow woman eats with the boy at the floor. But in the end Frank cuts trough and puts the boy in a chair at the table and says: “Hereafter he eats at the table” and afterwards the Indian woman draws into the corner crying.
