Download or read book Seize the Sky written by Terry C. Johnston and published by Domain. This book was released on 2010-07-21 with total page 416 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Custer confronts his destiny at Little Big Horn and his legend lives on through his Cheyenne son. Never one to proceed cautiously when an impetuous move could win him glory, Custer marched his famed Seventh Calvary against the Sioux in June 1876. He was thirty-six, already a mythic hero to some, with the possibility of a presidential nomination looming in his future; while to others he was an arrogant and dangerous fool, misguided in his determination to subjugate the Plains tribes. What should have been his greatest triumph became an utterly devastating defeat that would ring through the ages and serve as a turning point in the Indian Wars.

Book excerpt: He set the broth on the ledge and took a step out into the storm. He blinked hard once then twice to clear his failing eyes. The light was out and yet he could still see the flickering, yellow flow of its existence in the narrow arrow loop on the tower's next higher level. Then the torch was back full and strong if beleaguered by the gusts. Then again it was out. He stepped further into the maelstrom and stared and wished for better eyes. He could make no sense of it. It was queer. He resigned himself to cross the wall's expanse and properly investigate then a shiver ran through him thoroughly like a bolt of lightning ice cold lightning. He wiped furiously at the freezing rain that blurred his eyes. It was not the torch. It was something else between the torch and him blocking the light. It was something else. Something big and looming bigger. Something moving and moving toward him! He turned to go back for his spear but he never made it. There was little difference between death and the night. Except that death felt a little warmer.
