Gideon Ledbetter, freed from slavery, finds himself with no land, no money, and no means to make a living. He is drawn into the army, which had painted a deceptively alluring picture of cavalry life. Soon, Gideon becomes locked in a battle with a Comanche warrior, and a portrait emerges of two men who are merely pawns in a tragic conflict.Elmer Kelton is the author of 'The Wolf and the Buffalo (Texas Tradition Series)', published 1986 under ISBN 9780875650586 and ISBN 0875650589.
