A Distant Trumpet

Historical in substance, romantic in spirit, heroic in scale, "A Distant Trumpet" is a novel of the American West. Commissioned in 1880 as a second lieutenant of cavalry, Matthew Carlton Hazard reports for duty to Fort Delivery, Arizona, where he contends in the Apache Wars, learns the ways of love and duty, befriends White Horn, an Apache chief turned Army scout, and undertakes a death-defying mission to bring peace to the war-torn Western frontier.
