Fort Blood

Front Cover
Thorndike Press, 2002 - Fiction - 219 pages
It was late summer in southern Wyoming, but for Two Dogs' Cheyenne tribe it was killing season: the season for driving out the white settlers, killing the men, stealing the cattle, and kidnapping the women. For years Two Dogs had attacked the White Eyes without fear, but his warriors had yet to face the Pony Soldiers. Led by Colonel Colt Harding, these were the deadliest misfits in the army, and the die-hard C-Troop was thirsty for revenge. Each of them was more than a match for the Indians, and each had vowed that no Cheyenne would live to see another winter. The Pony Soldiers, they killed without remorse and died without regret.
