The 39th Indian

The 39th Indian is a story set in the Civil War era that takes on the issues of slavery and injustice head on. The main character, Colton Sage, is the son of a runaway slave and an Indian woman. He is born free into a world of unending prejudice. He grows up to become one of the most notorious and feared Indian outlaws on the land: the infamous Black Bat from Hell.

Colton is raised on the reservation by a white missionary lady who never stops trying to do the right thing for a people living under brutal military control.

This is a no holds barred account of the events that led up to the Indian War of 1862 and the largest mass-execution in US history. Not for the fainthearted, this historically engaging work of fiction is told with a series of cliff hanger chapter endings and a can't put it down storyline.
