Jeston Nash knew horses -- hed stolen enough of them in his time. But the lookalike cousin of Jesse James was going respectable, almost. Then, in a New Orleans teeming with drunks and blue uniforms, he sold a horse toa well-bred lady. It was the biggest mistake of his careerŠ. TRICK OF THE TRADE He hit Fort Lincoln with a belly full of wounds and minus a boot. His horse had been stolen, and hed stolen it back -- along with some bootleg crackers. All in all, it hadnt been a pleasant trip through the dreaded Black Hills. But at least Jeston Nash -- for the time being calling himself Beatty -- hadnt drowned. Now he fully intended to fulÞll a promise: to deliver an unridable horse called Honest Bob to a woman named Custer. The trouble was, the wife of General George Armstrong Custer, Elizabeth, wasnt very interested in the horse shed persuaded Nash to deliver. In fact, Mrs. Custer was on the warpath. So were the Sioux -- and General Custers commanders in Washington. Suddenly, Nash Þnds himself in the middle of the most dangerous kind of Þght: a marital squabble. Before he knows it hes riding alongside a hardheaded, buffalo-hunting, blond-haired general whos sure glory awaits them -- at a place called Little Big HornŠ.
