The U.S. Army's goal: wipe out the remnant of scattered, starving people on the frontier's Northern Plain. But before Colonel Nelson A. Miles, the Bear Coat, launched his Spring campaign into the heart of Indians country, the commander took one last stab at negotiations--and called on a Cheyenne woman and the famous half-breed pony scout named Johnny Bruguier. Together, they traveled to the valley of the upper Rosebud River to urge the Sioux to surrender. But a personal grudge exploded in the ranks of the U.S.Army. Now, as a man and a woman risk their lives for peace, the culmination of the great Sioux war is set in motion, as the Bear Coat takes on the last of the fierce Lakota warriors...

Review
"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

5.0 out of 5 stars
Another excellent Johnston epic!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Ashes of Heaven (Plainsmen) (Mass Market Paperback)
"Ashes of Heaven" again brings to life the tragedy of the loss of life and home of the American Indian families and the sacrifice of our American soldiers in typical and terrific Terry Johnston fashion. Through the protagonist (main character), Seamus Donegon, Johnston once more gives the reader a spectacular feel for the way things were in the American West as the Indian Wars slowly grind to a close. An excellent read, "Ashes of Heaven" is difficult to put down and I can hardly await his next release!
