These stories take place over a vast part of America, stretching from Canada to Texas and from Minnesota to Montana. Forts Buford, Caspar, and Fetterman are the sites for some of the cavalry stories, where soldiers portrayed an ominous presence. Scattered about, the Blackfeet, Arapaho, and Sioux Indians stand fast and protective, leery of white man’s invasion of their land.

An overriding theme of revenge and justice is prevalent in these lively tales in which men and women end up either heroes or victims.
