Summary
The thrilling, long-awaited return of the number-one New York Times best-selling author of The Revenant.
In 1866, with the country barely recovered from the Civil War, new war breaks out on the western frontier - a clash of cultures between a young, ambitious nation and the Native tribes who have lived on the land for centuries. Colonel Henry Carrington arrives in Wyoming’s Powder River Valley to lead the US army in defending the opening of a new road for gold miners and settlers. Carrington intends to build a fort in the middle of critical hunting grounds, the home of the Lakota. Red Cloud, one of the Lakota’s most respected chiefs, and Crazy Horse, a young but visionary warrior, understand full well the implications of this invasion. For the Lakota, the stakes are their home, their culture, their lives.
Throughout this taut saga - based on real people and events - Michael Punke brings the same immersive, vivid storytelling and historical insight that made his breakthrough debut so memorable. As Ridgeline builds to its epic conclusion, it grapples with essential questions of conquest and justice that still echo today.

authenticity
I think the author wrote a very loud kely true account if this often overlooked affair. Let's face it, Americans don't like it when they get a true drubbing and the Lakota and Cheyenne's certainly put up a great fight for their lands and way if life. It read like an exciting adventure story, but I think it retained truth and historical accuracy of all the characters involved.
