Gary A. Lewis said Five Stars. Highly recommend.. "Read 'em all" according to Donald Hunt. If you like some fiction thrown in with your history, this is the series for you, read them all and read them in order, as the series will take you on a ride through the Indian Wars and when you are finished, you will feel like you where there, in the snow and the rain and the 100+ degree heat, as all the while you were being stalked and hunted by the best of the Indian warriorsHope you will survive. Max Inman said BIG BATTLES THAT DID NOT LAST LONG. THE PERSON WHO WROTE THE REVIEW JUST BEFORE ME HAS IT RIGHT ABOUT THE THOUSANDS OF WORDS NEEDED BY jOHNSTON NEEDS TO GET HIS POINT ACROSS. I DO LIKE HIS STORIES BUT I'M NOT A SPEED READER NOR DO I ALWAYS COMPREHEND EVERYTHING THE AUTHOR IS TRYING TO COMMUTE. THE TWO BATTLES IN THIS BOOK, "THE HAY FIELD FIGHT and THE WAGON BOX FIGHT " only lasted but just hours. I have read about these by other authors and they took only several pages and gave me just as much fact.
