Battle Cry

Tony Hillerman's Frontier #4

by Ken Englade

The fourth title in the People of the Plains series which takes place in the 1850s, focusing on the day-to-day lives of Native Americans, written with the endorsement of Tony Hillerman.

For a few crucial years in the 1850s, when the fate of the Indian Nations was not yet sealed, an uneasy balance of power existed between white settlers and Native Americans--it was a time of turbulence, a time of bravery and betrayals great and small. All of the previous story elements in this richly evocative new series are brought together in a dramatic conclusion.
