QUOTE: Matheson excels at the depiction of one man alone. Locked in a desperate struggle against a force bigger than himself. -- Stephen King.

OVERVIEW: Picture City was a dull and faded little town 16 miles due west of Fort Apache . . . a great drama of the American Frontier was about to begin, here, at this insignificant dot on the map. After years of a bloody and brutal guerrilla war, the 287 men, women and children of Braided Feather's Pinal Spring band of Apaches had finally agreed to negotiate a treaty with the government of the United States. Remarkably, the Apaches were to govern themselves, police themselves and they would be subject to their own courts. This blessed peace was the result of years of effort by Billjohn Finley, the sincere and honest Indian agent. Ironically, all his work was about to be undone. . . . 176 pages.
