Double-Crossing America: 1866-1867
The brutal Civil War has abolished slavery. The Wild West beckons with free land and fortunes to be made. Seeking adventure and riches, Jeremiah Birge joins a wagon train from Wisconsin. He rolls into Fort Laramie, Wyoming, just as the Lakota, Northern Cheyenne and Arapahoe discover that the government has lied in their Peace Council. Red Cloud's War erupts.
Jeremiah, raised on the frontier among the Potawatomi, feels his sympathies pulled toward the tribes. He begins reporting on America's treachery, becoming one of the first frontier journalists. He discovers romance and encounters numerous dangers as he crisscrosses the country, all the while writing to alert Americans that equality has yet to be achieved.
Inspired by an ancestor's memoir, this historical novel delivers a deeply personal account of the enormous moral and spiritual cost of making America's destiny manifest.
