Charles King
Written by a former cavalryman who experienced Indian warfare on the western plains first hand, this novel tells a story of romance, betrayal, and warfare during the Sioux Outbreak of 1868, when Red Cloud, barely two years removed from inflicting one of the worst defeats in its history upon the United States Army—the Fetterman Massacre—has managed to unite the various tribes of the north into an alliance that intends to push the U. S. Army out of the Big Horn area once and for all.
Charles King’s novels never fail to reveal the intimate knowledge he possessed of Army life in every particular (see our
Charles King collection), which, when added to his natural talent as a storyteller, makes for first-rate historical fiction.
