In a land as savage as the Indians who lived on its vast prairies and burning deserts, the U.S. Dragoons were the only law. Short on rations but long on courage, they were the first cavalry soldiers to ride the great western frontier and fight to keep the peace.After thirty years of duty, Captain Darcy Hays was looking forward to a peaceful retirement—until a whiskey-soaked bunch of Sioux renegades wiped out an entire wagon caravan and took a young woman hostage. Only Chief Eagle Talons would lead Hays and his Dragoons to the gang of gunrunners who were supplying his people with the weapons and firewater that had turned the once-proud Sioux warriors into cutthroats and drunks. Rollo Kenshaw was the outlaw they were looking for. And now it was up to the trail-hardened cavalry soldiers to stop Kenshaw and his gun-toughs before they drowned the Wyoming Territory in innocent blood!
