Book 5 of a series, but the first I read and only for the Endeavour Award. I didn't want to like this book at all - and in fact I found the beginning tough going. It is an odd alternate history - set in a strangely different North America - centered on the Cheyenne and with a President Custer. The oddness definitely contributed to it being less approachable but the originality was at least interesting. Lot's of war but not a lot of detail or strategy and tactics. If you can get past the first 50 pages, not a bad read.
