Corporal John Taylor, one of \"Custer's avengers,\" is bored and lonely at Fort Grummond, a small, isolated outpost associated with a Lakota Sioux reservation. Any glimpse of Jeannie Scheid, the beautiful 17-year-old daughter of the Indian agent, Orville Scheid, exacerbates his frustration.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Scheid insists the Indian children learn English. Chief Stone Bear refuses. Scheid blunders and uses a single, ill-chosen word that terrifies the reservation's people. The Sioux kill some troopers and agency employees, kidnap Scheid's family, and launch a desperate attempt to flee to Canada. Major Nelson Prescott conducts an equally desperate mission to stop them.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Taylor's life and that of B Troop explodes in violence and tragedy. Pursuit by the cavalry is relentless, but the resistance of the Sioux is persistent and resourceful. All in the teeth of a brutal winter that grinds down both pursuers and pursued.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e A climactic confrontation erupts at the Missouri River, shy of the Canadian border. Taylor rescues Jeannie, and he learns a lot more about the young woman, the Sioux, the Army, and himself.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Ride along with Taylor and his set of four - Sean O'Dea, Linus Skinner, Hans Klausmeyer, and himself - and B Troop during this epic struggle.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Atlantic Books","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46454060908695,"sku":"9781647188696","price":1706.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781647188696.webp?v=1769147278","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/b-troop-one-wrong-word-turned-a-dakota-winter-into-hell-9781647188696","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
