The Templeton Massacre: Arrow and Saber Book 4
Fort Keogh, 1878 After surviving bloody ambushes by renege Sioux warriors, Lieutenant Colonel Marcus Cavanaugh finds his welcome at Fort Keogh to be hardly a warm one. Major Templeton, the officer who built the fort, is outranked by Cavanaugh and unwilling to play second fiddle to the new commander. With a mutiny and the chain of command endangered, the Sioux begin attacking. Though Cavanaugh orders caution, his subordinate boasts that he could rout the entire Sioux nation with a handful of pony soldiers. The disgruntled major leads his troops straight into a vicious Sioux trap. Now Cavanaugh and the few good men he has left must defeat the savages, and avenge... THE TEMPLETON MASSACRE.

TEMPLETON'S EGO
The Sioux Nation as pointed out by the author, amounted two thousand fighting warriors. The Templeton Massacre could have been avoided. Major Templeton felt he should have been the man on top not Colonel Cavanaugh, whom he was jealous of. If it hadn't been Cavanaugh the same slaughter of soldiers would have occurred. Custer's Last Stand should have never happened. It's called discipline and obeying orders. Never Never underestimate your enemies nor your businesses opponents, because if that's your attitude that they can be beaten or taken over as a merger, because your smarter than the average bear, it's time for you to go and live in the mountains...Lots of logic on both the United States Army and the War Chief White Eagle, the two leaders did not underestimate each other's strength, but Major Templeton did and it cost his life and those soldiers who were with him...very sad and a waste of human life on both sides, but that's what happens in wars...who really wins. Families on both sides are left to mourn the dead....no winners....my opinion..

Exciting Early Frontier Military/Indian Adventure!
Vaughan creatively draws readers into his realistic scenes of colorful characters as they struggle through extreme challenges of that error. His tales of the early frontier are always enjoyable and informative, well worth the read.

History
This is a fine example of history thundering to life. Excellent depiction of military life in the 1870's. Battle plans were made and carried out with precision. Readers of this series will get a better understanding of how the West was protected. Highly recommend.

Confession here - I got these books for my husband and he loved them. While I did not read them, he enjoyed the writing, the old western feel and having all four books in the series. Thanks for an exciting story-line.

Stellar action!!
I'm a new reader of Mr. Vaughans Brooks and his style kept me in suspense. I find I can relax comming home to read and escape the real world. Truly a talented writer!

Letterman massacre
Not up to Mr Vaughn's usual material. A very poor description of an actual event in western history. Not worth the time.

Final book about Cavanaugh, I think but hope not. Need to know what happens when his reports reach Washington. Grammar errors continue to plague this author.
