Description:
The first novel in an ambitious new series, a fictional history ì
of the west as seen through the eyes of runaway slave Nate ì
Gordon. He has returned to Louisiana as Sergeant Major Nate ì
Gordon of the Tenth United States Cavalry. His job, to recruit ì
and form the second US colored cavalry, the Ninth Negro. Three ì
years have passed since Nate left Louisiana and his life as a ì
slave, to join the Union Army. The war is now over, and it is ì
clear that the South has paid a heavy toll. Nate's former home is ì
a tattered collection of dilapidated buildings and ruined ì
plantations. Where once opulence and order ruled, poverty, ì
corruption and crime now thrive. Resentful and disgruntled white ì
Southerners want nothing to do with Nate and his stripes. Racist ì
Union officers and noncoms only make his task more difficult. ì
Nate struggles to quell dissent from the ranks and to keep ì
outside forces at bay as the Ninth Cavalry moves from the docks ì
of Louisiana to the wide open West.
