The last warpath
The battle between the U.S. Cavalry and the Cheyenne raged across the Western plains for 40 years. The white man demanded peace of total war, and the Cheyenne would not pay the price of peace. Great leaders like Little Wolf and Dull Knife knew their people were meant to range with the eagle and the wolf. The might Cheyenne would fight to be free until the last warrior had gone forever upon the last warpath.

Most of these were published under one or the other of the pseudonyms Will Henry and Clay Fisher. Allen was a five-time winner of the Spur Award from the Western Writers of America and a recipient of the Levi Strauss Award for lifetime achievement.

The description of the events surrounding the imprisonment and starvation of Dull Knife's Cheyenne in this book was very well done and will give you pause for reflection.Theres also well written tension between the two commanding officers at Fort Robinson, one man being heartless, and the other more sympathetic to the Indians situation.The dialogue between the Cheyenne, although certainly written from pure speculation, was also well done.All in all a great novel of Indian history by a very competent (from the few I've read) and versatile writer of western historical fiction
