This entry of "The Plainsmen" series covers several skirmishes between the cavalry and the southern plains tribes, with considerable coverage of the two battles that changed forever the Indian way of life. The book is a continuation of the previous story, which describes the effect of the buffalo hunters' poaching on the great buffalo herds that enraged the Indians who set out on the warpath against the hide men. The heroic battle of Adobe Walls is fully treated here, as is the fight at Palo Duro Canyon which effectively ended Indian resistance on the southern plains for all time. This seventh book by the author is among the best of his work about the history of the old west.

Terry C. Johnston is one of the best authors I have come across in the past 50 years. I have read all his books and hope you will enjoy them as much as I did. Once you start reading - you can't stop with just one book.

this book was a continuance of book 6 in the series and instead of focusing on seamus donegan much it spends more time with the Indians point of view. i didnt thing it was as gripping as the first six but it was still interesting. it also helps, in this series, to read the first books. it'll help with the figuring out of relationships between characters enormously.
