Fatal Ground

Love, Betrayal & Death in Montana Territory (Frontier Traveler Series, Book 2)

De: D.A. Galloway

Narrado por: Michael Bauer

Forbidden love. Broken trust. Deadly choices.

All Graham Davidson desired was to marry Makawee, the beautiful Crow woman with whom he fell in love while exploring Yellowstone. He envisioned a quiet life on the frontier. But when he travels back to Montana Territory in 1872, his dreams are quickly shattered.

Makawee’s father, Long Horse, demands a steep price for his daughter, and Graham must compete with a Crow warrior to win her hand. Tragedy strikes when she suffers an agonizing loss that scars her physically and emotionally.

Long Horse sends him on a mission into the newly created Yellowstone National Park, where squatters and poachers exploit the park’s resources.

Graham and a Crow friend enlist as scouts for the army. When George Armstrong Custer recruits them for the Seventh Cavalry, the friends are soon riding into the Little Bighorn Valley. Should Graham warn the brash cavalry officer his entire command will be killed? Does he betray his Crow friends by warning the Sioux of the pending attack?

Or does he allow both sides to engage in the looming battle at a place destined to be fatal ground?

Love the story

Love the story, the reader, not so much. He was very Woody, you could tell he.. was.. reading... half the time. The story was fascinating, a great sequel. can't wait for the 3rd book to come out.

Yellowstone is so well described.

This is such a beautiful depiction of Yellowstone and surrounding area. The telling of how the white man had so little regard for life other than their own is gut wrenching but told so well with such respect. I can hardly wait for the next book.

Great Story

I listen to the audio version of burning ground and now fatal ground, and they were both excellent stories. I Can’t wait for the third book to be released.

Keeps you on the edge of your seat .

It's definitely a great read, as was Burning Grounds .
I'll be looking forward to the third book in this series next year.

Excellent sequel to Burning Ground

This sequel is as powerful as Burning Ground. Definitely read Burning Ground first as it sets up #2.
Love the relationships between Graham and Stands Alone and of course Graham and Makawee. A must read for sure

I loved the historical part of the historical fiction in this book. Definitely recommend!

I truly enjoyed this book. I have nothing negative to say. The minimum word submission is ridiculous.

Thoroughly enjoyed!

I liked the story and the history. Another great work by D.A. Galloway. The narrator, Michael Bauer, gives life to the pages.
I highly recommend the audiobook.

Fantastic story and so much information about the past

I enjoyed reading his books it took me a while to put put it down I just I just was so intrigued with everything looking forward to another book by him hopefully to finish the story love the characters I kept reading over and over or listening to the audiobook over and over again due to a TBI I suffered earlier and met last May and I had problems remembering or what I listen to but it really help me through what I’m going through now and it’s I just I’m so looking forward to another book by hand and I will listen to other books that you have written thank you so much it was it was amazing I just couldn’t stop reading listening sorry thank you

The Anticipated Sequel

I enjoyed visiting sacred Native American sites with Graham, reuniting with Makawee, and spending more time with the Crow. Although I have to admit it was strange viewing the Sioux as the enemy--I've long studied the West from the point-of-view of the Cheyenne, for whom the Sioux (Lakota) were allies and the Crow were the enemy.

Depressing

MC does almost none planning before going back in time. While not buy some golden eagles (19th century coins.). He doesn’t bring a rifle even those he has experienced their necessity for survival. He doesn’t learn medical skills and nursing that can be applied in a primitive setting. He is impatient, naive, and ignorant. Anyone who has read about the experiences on the frontier will know that life was especially challenging for our country’s indigenous tribes. This turns a story of courageous hope and ingenuity into a tragedy.
BUMMER!
