Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Seventh United States Cavalry, under Lieutenant Colonel George Armstrong Custer, was composed of twelve companies at the Battle of the Little Big Horn River on June 25, 1876. Custer’s plan of attack required that he divide his regiment by splitting the companies into three separate battalions. These battalions would be commanded by Major Marcus Reno (A,G,M), Captain Fredrick Benteen (D,H,K), and Custer (C,E,F,I,L). Company B, under Captain Thomas McDougall, was detailed to guard the pack train. Reno’s orders were to take his battalion and “Charge the village and you will be supported by the whole outfit.” That didn’t happen. Almost everyone has heard of “Custer’s Last Stand” in one form or another, but are surprised to learn that only five companies of the regiment were actually defeated by the Sioux and Cheyenne warriors. The surviving companies of Reno’s and Benteen’s Battalions, plus, Company B and the pack train, not only survived a three-day siege, but also had a very compelling story to tell. This, then, is the story of one of those surviving companies, Company A, commanded by Captain Myles Moylan. More than that, it is the personal story of the men in that company and their experiences down in the valley and up on the bluffs, along the Little Big Horn River on June 25, 26, and 27, 1876.

Book excerpt: "For fans of Ian McGuire's The North Water and Michael Punke's The Revenant, Child in the Valley by Gordy Sauer is a coming-of-age story set in the harsh landscape of Gold Rush America, centering on a orphan's journey to California in a wagon train of ruthless 49ers. Seventeen-year-old Joshua Gaines is suddenly orphaned in 1849, and after discovering that his foster father has left him deeply in debt, he flees his St. Louis home for Independence, Missouri. There, he plans to offer his medical expertise in exchange for passage to California in a Gold Rush party. Joshua is initially rebuffed given his youth and inexperience, but as his resentment and greed grow, a chance encounter with a ruthless adventurer and an ex-slave enlists him in a party comprised of provincial identical twins and a wealthy Englishman. The party departs overland along a 1,500-mile trail carved out by hardship, disease, violence, and death. When finally they arrive starving and exhausted in California's Sacramento Valley, Joshua discovers that attaining those riches is not as simple as pulling them from the riverbed, forcing him to redefine his sense of morality within the context of his greed; his complex sexuality; and the growing, though still-fledgling, American government. This novel is part of the Cold Mountain Fund Series, in partnership with Charles Frazier"--
