This fast paced, action packed historical novel follows the true life story of George Goldsby. He was born a slave and lived in Alabama until the Civil War broke out and was forced to work for his master in the war effort. He was at Picket's Charge and escaped during the battle at Gettysburg. He served in the Union Army until the end of the war and then returned home to find his life in as bad a shape as the defeated South, a total shambles. He lost his wife and family who he had spent years dreaming of and he had to escape when he learned that he was going to be hanged for serving the North. His escape took him to Indian Territory where he starts a new life, but reenters the military when he joins the newly established 10th Cavalry. His encounters with hostile Indians and racism are life threatening and troublesome, but his courage and dedication make him a man that should be remembered. If he could not be remembered for his bravery and dedication to duty then he surely will be remembered as the father of the notorious "Cherokee Bill"
