Subject(s): Genre/Form: Summary: Clay Holley and Tom Denton, returning from a successful cattle-selling venture, can hardly wait to see their wives and Tom's young son again. But when the two ranchers top the last rise before the house where their families are staying, they see only charred ruins - the mindless destruction of hostile Indians. Stunned and outraged, Clay has always felt compassion for the Indians who have been lied to and cheated by the white man's government. But until he holds his pregnant wife safely in his arms again, no compassion will stop him from tasting revenge. The men have a faint glimmer of hope: there are no bodies in the wreckage, and so they set out to conquer the trail of the band of raiders with raw courage, a wild dream of survival, and the aid of one Colonel George Armstrong Custer...
