About this title

Review:

"A microscopic examination that sets the entire Indian conflict in new light: gritty, evenhanded, starkly unsentimental view of good intentions--on both sides--gone bad."--"Kirkus Reviews," starred review "The author's realistic representation of the major historical players results in a balanced account of a savage cultural clash."--"Booklist" "Chiaventone delivers a stirring tale. . . . The clash of cultures, rivalries among the soldiers, as well as the vivid portrayal of the inhospitable environment, make this novel stand out."--"Publishers Weekly" ""Moon of Bitter Cold" is a welcome addition to novels about important events in the history of the American West."--"Denver Post & Rocky Mountain News"
