O knihe
An American Indian War campaign by a serving soldier
The action of this book takes place within a cavalry regiment no longer under the command of the flamboyant George Armstrong Custer. Little time had elapsed since he, together with most of his command had been wiped out at the battle of Little Big Horn by the Plains Indians under the inspirational leadership of Sitting Bull. In 1876, the young author of this book, out of work, luck and money found himself in the recruiting office of the United States Army at Leavenworth, Kansas and so began the process that transformed him into Trumpeter A. F Mulford, Co. M, 7th U. S. Cavalry. The apocalyptic nature of the Indian victory over Custer's force had spelt their doom and the sands of time of their way of life were now fast running out. Sitting Bull had been captured and hostile bands were being ruthlessly hunted down. Chief Joseph of the Nez Perces gathered together a substantial force of armed warriors and their dependents to effect an exodus to Canada. Miles and his force pursued and this short but significant episode became Mulford's military adventure and the narrative of his essential text. Available in soft cover and hard back with dust jacket.
