    This work has all the gripping excitement of the American west in postbellum America and the operations of the seventh Cavalry in and around the Little Bighorn valley. Heart stopping cavalry charges, desperate solders surrounded and cut off from the rest of the command, forced to fight their way out, the Indigenous struggle to freely live a life they had lived for thousands of years, and the gut-wrenching sadness the futility of war produces  
    	Except for Will and Jake, all the characters, times, dates, actions, and movements in this book are historically accurate and written in the same manner as Michael Shaara’s. Killer Angels, or Jeff Shaara’s Gone for Soldiers.
