The Last Hill - Tapa blanda

Reseña del editor

In the annals of all the military services there are events that may or may not be fact. This story is about one of those events. It falls somewhere between the realm of truth, fiction, fact and folklore.

Major Samuel Nathan Kidd commands his regiment into the field against an Apache myth called Red Hawk. Red Hawk's band leads the cavalry on a long and difficult campaign that covers an area the size of many states. The chase, with Major Kidd leading his cavalry troop runs from Fort Davis down to the Mexican border, back north through the mountains along the Rio Grande, to the southern edge of the Territory of New Mexico and, finally, to a mesa north of the Davis Mountains in pursuit of Red Hawk. This is a place where all the bravery, cunning and wit of both sides will be tested.

This is a story of the men of the 8th, 9th, and 10th Cavalry, showing unusual bravery, devotion and loyalty to their commander, fellow troopers and the regiment. Men of several races, colors and backgrounds find they are molded together in a struggle to overcome tremendous odds.

This is also a story of three tribes of Indians. Led by a myth, as they try one more desperate effort to free themselves of their oppressors and regain their homelands.

So . . . this may be myth or legend. It may be real or not, but these are men of great valor and strong convictions. On this campaign the courage of every man will be challenged at "The Last Hill".
