The Quiet One

Ever wondered what it was like to be a Cavalry officer during the Indian Wars in the southwest? Mount up and ride with Padraigh O'Giollain Captain of scouts and his men at Fort Bowie Arizona in 1874. With the raw recruits under your command, teach them to survive against the greatest light cavalry ever seen , outnumbered 2 to 1, and defend settlers. Meet Taza, Cochise's, son torn between the Apache way of life and living at peace when both white man and Indian broke treaties and warfare threatened to destroy both. Will Taza remain loyal to his dead father and seek peace, or will he cave to others like sly vicious Pionsenay, or honorable Victorio and fight to preserve their way of life? Can he gain the confidence of the revered warrior woman Lozen, a shaman, to gain an audience with Taza and Victorio? Can Pat survive challenges of a different sort as well? Can he, an orphan himself, take a young boy orphaned by Indians massacring his parents, and raise him? Can he cope with a fiery Colonel's daughter?
