The Plainsmen Series

Known for his keen historical accuracy, author Terry C. Johnston’s astonishing retelling of the battle of the American West between Native Americans and the U.S. cavalry begins with Sioux Dawn, a reimagining of the Fetterman Massacre of 1866. Johnston’s compelling fictional hero of The Plainsmen Series, Sergeant Seamus Donegan, blends seamlessly with real-life warriors and peacemakers of famous historical battles, from the legendary Crazy Horse to General Custer and his epic last stand at Little Bighorn. A riveting portrayal of the Sioux and Cheyenne Indians, the author’s “attention to detail and authenticity,” according to the Chicago Tribune, “makes it easy to see why Johnston is today’s bestselling frontier novelist.”
