The first novel in an ambitious new series, a fictional history
of the west as seen through the eyes of runaway slave Nate
Gordon. He has returned to Louisiana as Sergeant Major Nate
Gordon of the Tenth United States Cavalry. His job, to recruit
and form the second US colored cavalry, the Ninth Negro. Three
years have passed since Nate left Louisiana and his life as a
slave, to join the Union Army. The war is now over, and it is
clear that the South has paid a heavy toll. Nate's former home is
a tattered collection of dilapidated buildings and ruined
plantations. Where once opulence and order ruled, poverty,
corruption and crime now thrive. Resentful and disgruntled white
Southerners want nothing to do with Nate and his stripes. Racist
Union officers and noncoms only make his task more difficult.
Nate struggles to quell dissent from the ranks and to keep
outside forces at bay as the Ninth Cavalry moves from the docks
of Louisiana to the wide open West.
