Show the Colors

(1989)
A novel by

 
 
Veteran cavalry scout Sergeant James "Breed" Stalwart knew his fourteen-man patrol was riding into an Apache ambush at Twin Buttes, but he'd taken an oath to follow orders. Though the colonel was a drunken fool, an order was an order, and Breed had no choice in the matter.

Of the fourteen who rode into the ambush, five survived -- either by courage or blind luck. But there was one among that who was a traitor . . . who had sold the Indians stolen Winchester rifles. Someone had to pay for the slaughter, and the finger of blame was pointed at Breed. Breed isn't just facing a court-martial -- he's facing a tribunal for a crime whose penalty is death by firing squad. He would have to ride hell-for-leather to find the woman who could prove his innocence.
