This exciting adventure novel tells the story of Isaiah Dorman, a descendent of African Zulu warriors and a free man living in America, who gets caught up in the Civil War. Following a battle, confederate soldiers burn down Isaiah's blacksmith shop and his adjoining home, leaving him with nothing. He meets General George Armstrong Custer, who inspires him to go out West and work for the railroad. Isaiah is hired on as a hunter for the railroad by Pierre le Fur, who leads the hunting party. Having had differences with the railroad boss, Lars, Isaiah is receptive when Pierre and his wife talk him into leaving the railroad and heading with them to Montana Territory to search for gold. Isaiah meets up again with General Custer, who persuades him to join his 7th Cavalry as an interpreter, just as the troop heads for the Dakotas and a date with destiny.
