About This Book

The narrative follows Ned Fletcher, a young bugler figure, and the Seventh Cavalry under General Custer as they patrol and fight across the Western plains, portraying scouting, skirmishes, major engagements, and life at forts. Chapters alternate action scenes—battles, winter campaigns, scout expeditions—and quieter moments that reveal officers' duties and domestic ties. The text presents military operations against Cheyenne and Sioux leaders, traces searches for Sitting Bull, and includes portraits and illustrations, while attempting to show perspectives of both soldiers and Native peoples and to explore themes of duty, courage, and the frontier's transformation.
