The Year the Cloud Fell

In 1886, and America has been in an undeclared war with the Cheyenne Alliance for eighty years. President George Armstrong Custer, Sr., determined to end the conflict, sends his only son--a captain in the US Army--out over enemy territory in an experimental aircraft. Young Custer is captured by the soldiers of the Cheyenne Alliance, but his life is spared because Speaks While Leaving, a visionary and healer, believes him to be the key to their success.
