Summary:

"Dog Soldier Justice focuses on the turbulent times on Kansas during the late 1860s...[the book] is inherently positioned from the perspective of the pioneer settlers and the military of the 1860s. The Indian perspective (by no means to be disregarded) is left for others to explore..."--dust jacket flap.
