A Distant Trumpet

From Pulitzer Prize winner Paul Horgan's epic novel of Indians and Indian-fighters

A classical Western drama set at a remote frontier fort, balancing military duty, romantic tension, and frontier conflict in 1880s Arizona.

In 1883, US Cavalry lieutenant Matthew Hazard, newly graduated from West Point, is assigned to isolated Fort Delivery on the Mexican border of Arizona, where he meets commanding officer Teddy Mainwarring's wife Kitty, whom he later rescues from an Indian attack.
