Nagodzaa: A Warrior's Elegy

By Arley L. Dial

Lt. Willard Riley: A soldier and faithful servant of his country, Riley is tasked with keeping the peace in the troubled Arizona Territory. At the head of Troop B of the Tenth U.S. cavalry, Riley and his buffalo soldiers seek to protect the settlers from the dreaded Apache. When news arrives that a group of Apaches has made a violent departure from the reservation, Riley and Troop B set out to round up the renegades, pitting themselves against a foe who has been described as 'the tigers of the human species'. Ka'edine: A war chief, and proud defender of his people, Ka'edine has seen the way of life he knew as a boy undergo massive change. Peace has been made with the Americans, but that peace means little when a man's wife and children are starving. Leary of breaking the peace but seeing no other alternative, Ka'edine and several companions turn to the methods of their forefathers and set out on a raid. A raid that will surely draw the ire of the horse soldiers. Two men brought into conflict by circumstances beyond their control. A soldier trained in warfare by the institutions of the old world, and a warrior who maintains the ancient traditions of the new. The civilized man and the savage, caught up in a battle which has raged since time immemorial, and is destined to continue until N godzaa, the end of time.
