Description
Western stories. Historical fiction. The battle between the United States Cavalry and the wild-riding Cheyenne, lords of the north Prairie, raged across the Western plains for forty years. The white man demanded peace or total war, and the Cheyenne would not pay the price of peace. Great leaders like Little Wolf and Dull Knife knew their people were meant to range with the eagle and the wolf. The mighty Cheyenne would fight to be free until the last warrior had gone forever upon the last warpath. It was death the war chief chose; he chose to die rather than to suffer further dishonor; he chose death rather than continued imprisonment; he chose death as a free man instead of life as a slave.
