Product Description

Thomas Winslow fought bravely in the Civil War and was fortunate to survive the grim carnage. But the final defeat on the field of battle was far less painful than the personal defeat he encountered upon his return home. Betrayed by his wife and best friend, the only remnant of his marriage and love was a newborn daughter. Despite the difficulties, Tom remained adamant against giving Laura up. He eventually took a job with the Department of Indian Affairs. Over a period of several years, he and his young daughter move all over the Northern Plains, meeting with the leaders of the Indian tribes, then bringing recommendations with his findings. There was no other white man who knew the country or the Indians better than Thomas Winslow. When the opportunity comes to join the Seventh Cavalry under General George Custer, it affords a better home life for Laurie and a highly desired return to a military career for Winslow. But Tom soon discovers that Custer's campaign against the Indians in the Northern Plains is ill-fated and that his old bitter rival, Spencer Grayson, is a superior ranking officer! As they head toward the Little Big Horn and the final confrontation, who will be left standing? House of Winslow Book 13.


Ingram

In Book 13 in The House of Winslow, Tom Winslow was a natural-born soldier on an Indian campaign marked by destiny through George Custer. Can one woman find her way into Winslow's heart?. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

3.0 out of 5 stars Great story, but seems there should be more to it., Oct 19 2001
By Anna M. Vandenhazel (West Valley City, UT USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: The Crossed Sabres #13 (Paperback)
While the overall story about Tom's life after the civil war is good, I would have liked to know what he did between the chapter where his wife died in childbirth and the next chapter where his daughter is 11 years old! The ending indicates that Tom plans to leave the Army, but in Book 16, "The Jeweled Spur," which is about his daughter several years later, he's still in the Army, and never intends to leave. In another later book, Sky & Rebekah's children hold a reunion, and this time Tom HAS left the Army. He'd be considered quite wishy-washy in real life!

5.0 out of 5 stars Touching Story In Unusual Historical Setting, April 4 2000
By Janet Reeves (New York) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Crossed Sabres #13 (Paperback)
The House of Winslow series continues with the story of Sky Winslow's son Tom, who has been left alone with a newborn daughter to raise. Wanting to leave memories of the Civil War and a bitter marriage behind, Tom heads West and joins the Army in its efforts among the Indians. Gilbert Winslow weaves the fictional story of Tom's battle to make peace with his past and with God with the true and tragic story of Custer's Last Stand. As with other books in this series, I enjoyed learning the historical details while watching another member of the House of Winslow develop faith in God. I can't wait to read Book Fourteen to discover what happens next in America and among the Winslows.
