Colt (Chief of Scouts)

Christopher Columbus Colt, legendary chief of cavalry scouts, was in for the biggest fight of his life, forced to lead an all-black U.S. Cavalry unit on a suicide mission into the very heart of the explosive Apache Wars. Colt would have to overcome million-to-one odds - and his own prejudices - to come out of this one alive. And even if the Chief of Scouts could conquer his own doubts, he would still have to reckon with two names that struck fear into the heart of every frontier man: Victorio and Geronimo, renegade Apache chiefs who led their warriors on a bloody trail that any scout could follow - and few dared to. Meticulously researched and filled with historical fact, Colt will take you on military campaigns, to infamous battlefields, and into the mind and life of an American hero.
