In the early summer of 1895, the army garrison of Claybourne Barracks, Indiana, is awaiting the arrival of a new commanding officer. The summer social season is about to begin with soirées and galas, but dismay and fear suddenly sweep through Claybourne Barracks...
This is much more than a novel. It is the saga involving the turbulent social and political history of the final opening of Indian lands. It takes place from 1888 to 1907 in what is now part of modern Oklahoma. That vast area was taken from Native Americans through ruthless chicanery and lawyering. This period marks the last stages of development of the American frontier as settlers move in to put down stakes in a region called the Medicine Bundle Grasslands.
