“With graceful prose, thorough documentation, and a former lawyer’s exactness, Paul Magid has the pulse of George Crook, the army officer Americans believe they know best as the shrewd and innovative campaigner who achieved extraordinary successes in Oregon and Arizona only to be trumped by the Sioux at the Rosebud in 1876. The saga of Crook’s service in the field is well told here, but we come to see as well a budding humanitarian, a character dimension rare among senior army officers.”—Paul L. Hedren, author of After Custer: Loss and Transformation in Sioux Country
