“From Pulitzer Prize winner Paul Horgan's epic novel of Indians and Indian-fighters”

WesternDrama

In 1883, US Cavalry lieutenant Matthew Hazard, newly graduated from West Point, is assigned to isolated Fort Delivery on the Mexican border of Arizona, where he meets commanding officer Teddy Mainwarring's wife Kitty, whom he later rescues from an Indian attack.

VIBE

A sweeping, melancholic Western that captures the vast, lonely beauty of the frontier. It feels like a dusty, sun-baked epic of duty and longing, set against the stark Arizona landscape.
