Synopsis
Like Jim Fergus's previous novel, ONE THOUSAND WHITE WOMEN, this one looks back into the history of the American West to tell a story of tensions between Native Americans and whites. In THE WILD GIRL, an eighty-something photographer named Ned Giles recalls an episode from 1932 through the diaries he kept at the time. As a young man, Ned was part of an expedition to find and free a boy who was captured by the Apaches--using an Apache girl as ransom. Ned has photographed the girl, and her narrative combines with extracts from Ned's diaries to tell a story that resonates years later, and that lays bare some of the harsh truths about the American presence in the West.

Publisher's Note
From the award-winning author of One Thousand White Women, a novel in the tradition of Little Big Man, tracing one man's search for adventure and the wild Apache girl who invites him into her world.
When Ned Giles is orphaned as a teenager, he heads West hoping to leave his troubles behind. He joins the 1932 Great Apache Expedition on their search for a young boy, the son of a wealthy Mexican landowner, who was kidnapped by wild Apaches. But the expedition's goal is complicated when they encounter a wild Apache girl in a Mexican jail cell, victim of a Mexican massacre of her tribe that has left her orphaned and unwilling to eat or speak. As he and the expedition make their way through the rugged Sierra Madre mountains, Ned's growing feelings for the troubled girl soon force him to choose allegiances and make a decision that will haunt him forever.
In this novel based on historical fact, Jim Fergus takes readers on a journey of magnificent sweep and heartbreaking consequence peopled with unforgettable characters. With prose so vivid that the road dust practically rises off the page, The Wild Girl is an epic novel filled with drama, peril, and romance, told by a master.

Industry reviews
"Fergus makes unforgettable characters move against vivid landscapes in this laudable encore." [Starred review.]
