Summary:

Chronicles the four-year period following the Civil War--an extraordinarily transformative and disruptive era on the Great Plains, marked by two great climaxes: the triumph, in 1868, of Red Cloud and Crazy Horse over the U.S. Army on the Bozeman Trail, and the joining, in 1869, of the two ends of the transcontinental railroad at Promontory Point in Utah.
