Summary: "A remarkable battle was fought at Beecher Island, Colorado, in 1868. Forty-nine untrained volunteers, two wounded officers, and a dying army doctor were nailed down on a sandbar in a shallow river by more than a thousand Cheyenne, Arapahoe and Sioux. For the fourth day the squaws and children shrieked with blood-lust. Roman Nose gathered his warriors for yet another attack. And again the desperate men on Beecher Island leveled their rifles."-- Provided by publisher.
