Dalla quarta di copertina:

Based on a true story

NORTH OF THE BRAZOS, SOUTH OF INDIAN TERRITORY, a new legend of the west was born.

For decades the Texas plains ran with the blood of natives and settlers, as pioneers carved out ranch land from ancient Indian hunting grounds and the U.S. Army turned the tide of battle. Now the Civil War has begun, and the Army is pulling out of Fort Belknap—giving the Comanches a new chance for victory and revenge. Led by the remarkable warrior, Little Buffalo, the Comanche and Kiowa are united in a campaign to wipe out the settlers forever. But in their way stand two remarkable men...

"Matt Braun has a genius for taking real characters out of the Old West and giving them flesh-and-blood immediacy."—Dee Brown, author of Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee

Allan Johnson is a former plantation owner. Britt Johnson was once his family slave, now a freed man facing a new kind of hatred on the frontier. Together, with a rag-tag volunteer army, they'll stand up for their hopes and dreams in a journey of courage and conscience that will lead to victory...or a battle to the death.
