Publishers WeeklyIn the first book of his Black Sabre Series about African-American military men, Willard tells the story of Sergeant Major Augustus Sharp of the 10th Cavalry. He and other former slaves proved that they would fight valiantly for their freedom. But in the West, they were to fight for the freedom and security of white settlers who often despised them. Yet, as one of the Buffalo Soldiers, Augustus finds a purpose and camaraderie that sustains him for thirty years. In the course of his service, Augustus meets the likes of Wild Bill Hickok and Custer and is in the vanguard of Teddy Roosevelts charge up San Juan Hill. Sadly, even his bravery and success cannot protect him from the bigotry and hatred of many white men. - from Amzon
