Winner of the Spur Award for Best Western Historical Novel. Victory or Death! General George Armstrong Custer was determined to find one or the other in the valley of the Little Big Horn - and so he led two hundred and twenty-five men of the 7th Cavalry into one of the bloodiest massacres in American history. In The Red Sabbath, told through the eyes of a hard-bitten civilian scout, Spur Award-winning author Lewis B. Patten vividly recreates the dramatic events that led up to the violent clash of arms on that blood-soaked Sabbath.
