About the book
The story revolves around an army officer, Bob Hampton, and his redemption about how he was unjustly accused of a crime that he did not commit. It's a well written western novel with vivid characters and interesting storyline, full of suspense!
Except:
"It was not an uncommon tragedy of the West. If slightest chronicle of it survive, it must be discovered among the musty and nearly forgotten records of the Eighteenth Regiment of Infantry, yet it is extremely probable that even there the details were never written down. Sufficient if, following certain names on that long regimental roll, there should be duly entered those cabalistic symbols signifying to the initiated, «Killed in action.» After all, that tells the story. In those old-time Indian days of continuous foray and skirmish such brief returns, concise and unheroic, were commonplace enough."
