Boots and Saddles / The Story of the Fifth Cavalry / Edgar Jean Bracco

In the turbulent years following the Civil War, only the Fifth United States Cavalry stood between the hostile Apaches and the pioneers trying to settle the Arizona territory. Captain Shank Adams had his orders–keep blood-letting to a minimum. Yet blood flowed–Apache blood, when the braves fought to hold their land, settler blood when the frontiersmen fought to protect their homes and their women.
