<DIV><b>An intrepid reporter&rsquo;s investigation into the death of a controversial major reveals a surprising story of betrayal and redemption</b></div><DIV><BR>It is 1866, and Sam Morrison, reporter for the <i>St. Louis Herald</i>, is aboard a steamer bound for Fort Standish off the coast of Massachusetts, determined to solve a mystery. The fort is about to be renamed in honor of Charles Rawley, a major who recently died in a fire while trying to prevent the escape of a captured Sioux chief. But just who was Rawley? Morrison is told a dizzying host of tales about the man&mdash;some call him a despot but others describe him as a martyr. He was a man all too willing to execute a deserter, but one who would spur his troops to do the utmost to ensure the safety of women and children. As the investigation unfolds, Morrison doesn&rsquo;t know which stories to believe&mdash;especially when it comes to the truth about Rawley&rsquo;s death. </div><DIV>&#160;</div><DIV>Thrilling and wily, <i>Killdeer Mountain</i> is a deft triumph of historical fiction.</div><DIV>&#160;</div><DIV>This ebook features an illustrated biography of Dee Brown including rare photos from the author&rsquo;s personal collection.</div>
