Perfect for you if...

  • You're drawn to frontier history told through the eyes of soldiers caught between two worlds, with meticulous period detail woven into fast-paced action.
  • You appreciate westerns that treat Native American leaders and white officers with equal complexity, showing the human cost of territorial conflict.
  • You've read other Plainsmen books or Johnston's work and want to continue following Seamus Donegan through the 1860s Indian Wars.

Maybe not for you if...

  • You prefer dialogue-heavy narratives, as Johnston builds atmosphere through description and tactical detail over character banter.
  • You're uncomfortable with graphic depictions of 19th-century military combat and the violence of frontier conflict.
  • You want a standalone novel rather than book two of a series, since this picks up from The Fetterman Massacre and assumes familiarity with earlier events.

About this book

In this "rich and fascinating" historical western, an American soldier fights in the ongoing Indian wars (Washington Post Book World). Seven month of small reprisals since the Fetterman massacre had passed. Sergeant Seamus Donegan of the Army of the West had witnessed proud leaders—both Indian and White—steel themselves for the withering clashes to come. And on two consecutive summer days, battle erupted—drowning the Dakota Territory in a damburst of bloodshed: the Hay Field Fight and Wagon Box Fight of 1867. Praise for Terry C. Johnston"The great frontier historical novelist of his generation." ―Paul Andrew Hutton, Spur Award–winning author of Phil Sheridan and His Army"Johnston can be considered the king of the Indian wars' fiction writers." ―John D, McDermott, author of A Guide to the Indian Wars of the West"The author's attention to detail and authenticity, coupled with his ability to spin a darned good yarn, makes it easy to see why Johnston is today's best-selling frontier novelist. He's one of a handful that truly knows the territory." —Chicago Tribune Read more
