The warrior

The U.S. Army assigned Captain John Early to Camp Sheridan to protect the same Indians he'd been fighting all his life. But they didn't know how good a soldier they'd created. Because he would indeed protect his charges--even from the army itself.

""The U.S. Army didn't quite know what to do with Capt. John Early. He was too beat-up for battle--missing an eye and an arm. But he would never consider mustering out. So the army's plan was to get him out of the way. They assigned him to Camp Sherridan--to protect the same Indians he'd been fighting all his life. It was a job they thought no one could handle, and Early was a man they could afford to lose. They just didn't know how good of a soldier they'd created. Because Capt. John Early would indeed protect his charges, even from the army itself"--P. [2] of cover."
"His assignment -- to protect the Indians he had spent his entire adult life fighting against! Captain John Early had definitely been given the dirty end of the stick. It seemed that the lion's share of a lifetime as a member of the Indian Fighting Army qualified him to re-establish Fort Sheridan as an outpost to protect the nearby Pine Ridge Agency. As an outworn soldier, the Review Board figured he could make the mistakes that would otherwise be wasted on better men than he. But what they were overlooking is that -- first and foremost -- Captain Early was a soldier. He went into every situation as though it was a battle that his very life depended on winning. The only difference with this one was that it played against the Army he'd served for so long."
