Written in the immediate aftermath of the incident at Wounded Knee Creek on December 29, 1890, by a U. S. Army Cavalry officer and veteran of the Indian wars on the Western plains, A Soldier’s Secret: A Story of the Sioux War of 1890 is a beautifully-written romance that uses a captivating fictional story about love and honor to express a different viewpoint of what happened that day.
A soldier’s viewpoint.
Rather than a massacre, as the tragic incident is routinely labeled today, the evidence suggests it was a full-blown battle: thirty one U. S. Army soldiers died that day and thirty three more were seriously wounded. The Army awarded twenty Medals of Honor to men who participated in the fight. Does that even remotely sound like a massacre of innocent, unarmed, peaceful, Lakota women and children?
