In 1866, the aftermath of the Civil War left the United States in a state of recovery. However, a new conflict emerged on the western frontier, pitting a young and ambitious nation against the Native tribes that had called the land home for centuries. Colonel Henry Carrington was dispatched to Wyomings Powder River Valley to lead the US Army in defending the construction of a new road for gold miners and settlers. Carrington's plan was to establish a fort in the heart of the Lakota's critical hunting grounds, which would have profound implications for the Native people.
Red Cloud, one of the Lakota's most respected chiefs, and Crazy Horse, a young but visionary warrior, recognized the gravity of the situation. For the Lakota, the stakes were their home, their culture, and their very lives.
Author Michael Punke weaves a thrilling and immersive saga based on real people and events. Through his vivid storytelling and historical insight, Punke captures the essence of this extraordinary moment in American history. As Ridgeline unfolds, it delves into fundamental questions of conquest and justice that continue to resonate today.
The novel explores the complex dynamics between the US Army and the Lakota, highlighting the devastating consequences of colonialism and the struggle for land and resources. It sheds light on the resilience and determination of the Native people in the face of adversity, and their unwavering commitment to protect their way of life.
Ridgeline is a testament to the power of storytelling and the importance of understanding our past to shape our future. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the American West, history, and the human cost of conflict.
