Set in 1873, Diana is captured by Silver Fox. Forced into a different culture, and irresistibly drawn to her captor, Dianna is torn between hope of rescue or falling in love with a mystic Sioux warrior. (Aurthor's note) Because the Sioux pronounce their words and letters differently than they are written (for example...T is pronounced like a D) I have spelled the Sioux words phonetically, so the reader knows how the words sound, not how they are spelled. You will not find these spellings in any Native American Dictionary, unless they show the phonetic spelling of the words.

Taken from George Armstrong Custer's own writings, An Autobiography of General Custer is the “true story” of one of the most praised, most despised, but surely most remembered American military heroes.

The American Indian Wars, a series of conflicts between white settlers and Native Americans which took place in the 17th, 18th, and 19th centuries, were complex, brutal, and many.

The total number of individual wars probably numbers well over 100, though many were localized and on a very small scale.

From the first shots fired in the Ohio Valley wilderness in 1754 until the Treaty of Paris signed in 1763, the French and Indian War became a conflict that encircled the globe.

During World War II, U.S. forces had to keep battle plans and other top secret information out of the enemy's hands. Coded messages were often used, but secret codes could be broken. To solve this problem, the U.S. military turned to an unexpected source to create an unbreakable code. The Navajo people spoke a complex language that few outsiders knew how to speak. Several Navajo soldiers were recruited to develop a code based on the Navajo language.
