N2  - Twelve exciting tales of the U.S. Cavalry on the Western frontier, written by Members of the Western Writers of America.

Edited and with an Introduction by Charles N. Heckelmann

“It took a special kind of dedication, a pioneering spirit,” writes Charles N. Heckelmann in his Introduction, “to link oneself with those early infantry and cavalry units that helped to bring law and order to the untamed frontier. The collection of stories that make up this volume is dedicated to those fighting men in blue. All the sights and sounds and smells of those bygone days when the Indian and the white man were locked in a titanic struggle for dominance come through in the telling,”
The drama, the adventure, and the often very personal conflicts of that struggle are all captured in these twelve stories — each a uniquely revealing glimpse of this vital aspect in Americas expansion, each an example of Western writing at its finest. 
Most of the contributors to this anthology are well known for their Western novels and other works of fiction and non-fiction. Brian Garfield, for example, has won praise not only for his Western stories, but also for his recent history of the Aleutian campaign in World War II, The Thousand Mile War. Thomas Thompson has been a writer and producer of the immensely popular TV series, Bonanza. T. V. Olsen’s latest books. The Stalking Moon and Arrow in the Sun, have both been purchased for movie production. Fred Grove won the 1969 Western Heritage Award for his latest novel, The Buffalo Runners. And any admirer of Western fiction is sure to find several more familiar names among the authors listed on the back of this jacket.
