Unpleasant Frontier Dilemma In Major McDonald Tale
In 1868 Major Daniel McDonald of the Sixth Infantry faces a choice between duty and fatherly protection as his daughter plans a frontier journey from Ripley toward Fort Dodge. With Sioux, Arapahoe, Cheyenne, and Comanche hostilities rising, Devers Fort is crushed by isolation while McDonald weighs riding to intercept or sending an officer, amid tense discussions with Captain Travers and a mysterious cavalryman from Fort Union. The scene unfolds in a remote stockade beside the swollen river, chronicling a tense moral test and looming danger on a dangerous trail.
