Product Details

Product Description

Review

"Terry C. Johnston has emerged as the great frontier historical novelist of his generation."--Paul Andrew Hutton, Spur Award-winning author of Phil Sheridan and His Army

"Johnston can be considered the king of the Indian wars' fiction writers."--John D, McDermott, author of A Guide to the Indian Wars of the West


Product Description

Seven month of small reprisals since the Fetterman massacre had passed. Sergeant Seamus Donegan of the Army of the West had witnessed proud leaders--both Indian and White--steel themselves for the withering clashes to come. And on two consecutive summer days, battle erupted--drowning the Dakota Territory in a damburst of bloodshed: the Hay Field Fight and Wagon Box Fight of 1867.

4.0 out of 5 stars BIG BATTLES THAT DID NOT LAST LONG, April 30 2003
By Max Inman (holland, mi. U.S.A) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
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.

1.0 out of 5 stars All good things start out bad, Aug 28 2001
By "miltbrann" (Scandinavia) - See all my reviews
At least that's the case with Terry C. Johnston's Plainsmen series. Red Cloud's Revenge was the second part of this long, ambitious series that had as a goal to depict in Johnston's rich fiction all the major campaigns against Native Americans on the western prairie after the Civil War. Focousing on the Bozeman Trail-war of 1867 and the climax that was reached in the Hay Field Fight and Wagonbox Fight. Johnston knows his frontier history, albeit I sense a lesser degree of historical fascination in these early volumes than in the last he wrote. One of his biggest faults here is his inclusion of the highly fictional character of a confederate renegade in the ranks of the Arapaho. Perhaps trying to make the reader easily understand that one should not cheer on the Indian part he makes them all even more one-dimensional than his protagonist, the irishman Seamus Donegan. Depicted as larger-than-life, despite that Johnston insists he is as normal as anyone of his readers, he is not easy to swallow in this book or in any of the first four books in this series. Too bad that Johnston had to write 1000 pages in this series before he made good and fascinating fiction out of still exciting history. Still, I recommend this series to anyone that can not get enough frontier history. It only gets better by each book. *(*) on the barometer.
