1864 . . .
The Civil War had swallowed a nation whole in a struggle over power and providence, splitting the country’s heart, and slaughtering the white sons of America’s founding fathers.
But on the plains of Bleeding Kansas, America’s true natives are embroiled in a life or death struggle, indifferent to the political collision between blue and gray. The inevitable war between ancient native culture and Anglican progress in the New World is about to explode on the dark and frigid banks of a Colorado river that the Cheyenne call Ponoeohe.
Kevin Cahill dramatically assembles the labyrinth of power, politics and controversy that surrounded one of the most notorious events in the history of the American West. His remarkably insightful resurrection of the true-life Indians, soldiers and settlers involved in the Sand Creek Massacre provides a poignant look at the monumental struggle for life on the Plains. Sand Creek is a spellbinding narrative unlike anything ever written about the Sand Creek Massacre.
"Brilliantly written and thoroughly researched historical detail comes to life with novelistic flair in Kevin Cahill’s Sand Creek. Informative without being boring or dry, this novel is remarkably unbiased in its presenting of the story of the Sand Creek Massacre, revealing in detail how fear, misunderstanding, and a few violent men on both sides led to so many lives being lost."
