Description
Ridgeline is a gripping tale of conflict and conquest set against the backdrop of the American West in 1866. As the US Army prepares to build a fort in the Powder River Valley, tensions rise between the young nation and the Native tribes who have lived on the land for centuries. The story is based on real people and events, and brings to life the immersive and vivid storytelling that made Michael Punke's breakthrough debut so memorable.
The clash of cultures between the US Army and the Lakota people is a powerful and thought-provoking exploration of the stakes of invasion and the importance of justice. With its epic conclusion, Ridgeline grapples with questions that still echo today, making it a compelling pacey read that will keep you engaged until the very end.
