The thrilling,…Why read it?
1 author picked Ridgeline as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
In this novel of the American West, the author describes the details surrounding the Fetterman Massacre.
What struck me the most was the discord that infiltrated the US Army leadership and how it affected both the soldiers' performance in the field and the growing hostility by indigenous folk against the invaders of their homeland.
This is not a cowboy/Indian historical western but more an indictment against poor leadership and greed. I thought the author's interpretation of the principal historical characters was both compelling and evokes anger.
