Book excerpt: Two Cheyenne Dog Soldiers, members of Tall Bull's band, were whipping their ponies to gain speed up the north slope of a draw. As they crested, I was west-bound, riding fast. I didn't see them. It was mutual--they didn't see me either. In a violent clash of horseflesh, we all three went air-born. I hit the ground hard and rolled several times. Shaken, I gathered what strength I could muster and come to a knee. I asked myself, "Where did they come from?" My horse was having difficulty getting up on all fours. I wasn't doing all that well either. Struggling to get on my feet, I grabbed the reins and pull myself up to both knees. My horse was in bad shape by the way it was acting. Carefully not to get a wild kick or stomp by the hooves, I reached and removed the Henry rifle from the scabbard. Shaking my head to clear the cobwebs, I stood wobbling. Blinking several times to clear my vision I felt a welt above my left eye. And, something wet running down my shoulder. Pulling off my left glove with the help of my teeth. I and reached inside my shirt with my hand and I knew right away what it was. "Blood." Raising my shoulder and arm up and down, I didn't seem to have any difficulty in movement or pain. I'm lucky there. My horse has a broken leg and kicking up dust, I'm having a hard time focusing, I can see an Indian lying in such a way that his neck's broken. I see, one, no two Indian ponies down. I looked for the second Indian and spot him the same time he releases an arrow. I was a dead man at that close range. But. my horse, in his last fatal, try to stand, caught the arrow in its neck. I heard the scream from the Cheyenne. One of the two Indian pony's was standup. Apparently just stunned. The Dog Soldier leaped on the pony's back waving his war club and they attack. I had no time to aim and I fired from the hip, hitting pony. The pony's legs buckled and went down. Throwing the Dog Soldier to the ground. For a few vital seconds, I could not see the rider in a thick cloud of dust. I injected another round in the chamber. The dust cloud rolled my way. "Where was he?" He came out of the cloud of dust so close, the distance between us, I could see the hatred in his eyes. His war-club above his head, he screams and leaps. It's said, "the purpose of a Cheyenne Dog Soldier's scream, is to put fear in your mind, that death is near." I believe it. The first shot I almost missed, I hit too high on the right shoulder. He lost his grip on his war-club. My second shot, the barrel was flush against his chest. The impact of a 216-grain rim-fire-44, one inch above the heart, "Mercy." I quickly did a 180-degree turn, checking for Indians, there's none. It was quiet. Eerie quiet. The only thing left standing was me with my Henry. I began to shake. I dropped to a knee. "Lord, if you had a hand in this, "thanks?" I've never killed before. I dropped my arm and hand to the ground and sat down. I was exhausted.

Download or read book Dog Soldier of Los Cerrillos written by J. C. Cantle and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2015-08-26 with total page 380 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the 1900s, technology was advancing at a speed which was at that time in Santa Fe as well as everyplace else, not only very new, but confusing and scary to many, especially for the older folks that were comfortable with the way things were. Particularly, it seemed so in most of New Mexico, where tradition was fossilized in a state of mañana, tomorrow. What’s the hurry? Like everything else, with time, people accepted what was new in their life and soon found these new technologies a real need. From small and large companies to each individual, new electronic gadgets became both lifesavers as well as hindrances at times. Dog Soldier of Los Cerrillos encompasses the life of some old military combat veterans and their tributes to freedom as well as their unhealed wounds. For many, the thousand-yard stare stayed with them for years. Combat made many soldiers chain-smoke, use drugs, and drink themselves drunk in hopes of reducing the pressure of always being in that life-or-death situation through every mission that would, as time went on, manifest itself into a lifetime of addiction. Cecil Franklin was no different. As a civilian who constantly fought his alcoholism. Falling off of the wagon came and went as life’s pressures grew or ebbed. Being Cheyenne and raised on the reservation in his early years was to teach him the old ways but as he became a young man he had searched out a trade in hopes of assimilating into modern society and move from the poverty of the reservation. He was, as were many other young men, serving in the military and the war in Vietnam. By a stroke of luck he became the handler of a black Labrador called Jet and one of a five man tracker team that searched and hunted in what was sometimes called Indian Country behind enemy lines. After his service, Cecil married, had fathered a daughter, divorced, and raised his daughter on his own after moving to Santa Fe, New Mexico, where his life took many turns.
Download or read book The Dog Soldier s Manual written by Raven Walker and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2000-04 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Conditions create character. The unique conditions of the frontier breed a special kind of man, brave, strong, and capable. Thrown out onto the high plains to sink or swim, the Cheyenne bred the dog soldier, and became a strong and vibrant people. Plunging into the American wilderness to find the free life, the pioneer bred the ranger, a man who could build the cabin, hunt and bring home meat, and be ready on a moment’s notice to answer the call for help, to defend the family, kith and kin, with all his ability, even his life, to keep the people free and alive. The Dog Soldier's Manual is the story of this special kind of man, and describes in modern, common sense terms, the business of discipline that can make such a man today, one ready to handle the challenges of modern society and the new millennium. If you want to know how to be a man, The Dog Soldier’s Manual is a good place to start. The heart of the Manual identifies and explains the virtues and goals of dog soldier discipline, from the objects of personal grooming, including physical, mental, and emotional conditioning, expressiveness, and personal presence, to worldly affairs and animal matters, including hair, hygiene, habitat maintenance, possessions, cultural competence, feeding, and personal legend. The people never have too many dog soldiers.

Download or read book Empire of the Summer Moon written by S. C. Gwynne and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2010-05-25 with total page 394 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: *Finalist for the Pulitzer Prize and the National Book Critics Circle Award* *A New York Times Notable Book* *Winner of the Texas Book Award and the Oklahoma Book Award* This New York Times bestseller and stunning historical account of the forty-year battle between Comanche Indians and white settlers for control of the American West “is nothing short of a revelation…will leave dust and blood on your jeans” (The New York Times Book Review). Empire of the Summer Moon spans two astonishing stories. The first traces the rise and fall of the Comanches, the most powerful Indian tribe in American history. The second entails one of the most remarkable narratives ever to come out of the Old West: the epic saga of the pioneer woman Cynthia Ann Parker and her mixed-blood son Quanah, who became the last and greatest chief of the Comanches. Although readers may be more familiar with the tribal names Apache and Sioux, it was in fact the legendary fighting ability of the Comanches that determined when the American West opened up. Comanche boys became adept bareback riders by age six; full Comanche braves were considered the best horsemen who ever rode. They were so masterful at war and so skillful with their arrows and lances that they stopped the northern drive of colonial Spain from Mexico and halted the French expansion westward from Louisiana. White settlers arriving in Texas from the eastern United States were surprised to find the frontier being rolled backward by Comanches incensed by the invasion of their tribal lands. The war with the Comanches lasted four decades, in effect holding up the development of the new American nation. Gwynne’s exhilarating account delivers a sweeping narrative that encompasses Spanish colonialism, the Civil War, the destruction of the buffalo herds, and the arrival of the railroads, and the amazing story of Cynthia Ann Parker and her son Quanah—a historical feast for anyone interested in how the United States came into being. Hailed by critics, S. C. Gwynne’s account of these events is meticulously researched, intellectually provocative, and, above all, thrillingly told. Empire of the Summer Moon announces him as a major new writer of American history.
