This is another fine book by the author about the early days of the indian wars, a start to finish look at a west point grauate's life. Most of the indian wars were outlined, delved deeply into on the indians who eventually fought Custer. It also covered a short portion of the officer as an observer in the French/Prussian war. Had a few chapters about the black U.S. cavalry with white officers and their war against the Apaches. It concluded with a very good presentation of wounded knee and it's effect. This was such a good book, if you lagged at any point it wasn't long before romance, fighting, changed locations, or Army life spiced it up. Well done and a very good read...shu
