Ashes of Heaven
Terry C. Johnston
The U.S. Army's goal: to wipe out the remnants of scattered, starving people on the frontier's Northern Plain. But before Colonel Nelson A.

Together, they traveled to the valley of the upper Rosebud River to urge the Sioux to surrender. But a personal grudge exploded inthe ranks of the U.S. Army. Now, as a man and a woman risk their lives for peace, the culmination of the great Sioux War is set in motion, and the Bear Coat takes on the last of the fierce Lakota warriors...
