Summary

The year is 1886. For eighty years the United States has been in a state of undeclared war with the Indian nations of the Cheyenne Alliance over the unsettled frontier. This is not history, but a compelling story of an alternate nineteenth-century American Westhellip; The people of the United States have begun to encroach even further upon the territory of the Cheyenne Alliance. But the war-weary Cheyenne people have been sent a new weapon against the United States-in the form of a white man who fell from the sky. When George Custer, Jr., President Custerrs"s only son, crash landed into the hands of the Cheyenne people, he grew to think of his fatherrs"s enemy as his friends-and the land he was once enlisted to overtake as being worth his life to protect. Now George fights side by side with the Cheyenne people against his own fatherrs"s army. And if anyone knows how to win against President George Custer, itrs"s George Custer, Jr.-the one they now call One Who Flies.
