First edition, stated & inscribed, of this Texas historical fiction set against the backdrop of the aftermath of the 1871 Warren Wagon Train Raid, where Kiowa & Comanche ambushed a supply wagon train along the Texas frontier, and General William Tecumseh Sherman and his staff barely escaped the attack. Subsequently, Kiowa Chiefs Satanta, Satank, and Big Tree were arrested, faced trial in Jacksboro, TX, and although sentenced to death, were later pardoned by the Texas governor. The aftermath set the stage for the Red River War of 1874-1875. Vernacular terms, and contemporary racism sprinkle through the novel, including references to Jim Crow segregation of African-Americans, and the Ku Klux Klan. Very scarce in original dustjacket. …
