Hello American Cowboy
Book Review

News Tip

The United States Congress and Senate are preparing legislation, House Bill # HR 1022 and Senate Bill # 544 to recognize the Buffalo Soldiers...see end of letter...

My name is Erich Martin Hicks, author of the untold novel, Rescue at Pine Ridge, the first generation of Buffalo Soldiers. The novel's website is: http://www.rescueatpineridge.com This is the greatest story of Black Military History...5 stars Amazon internationally, and Barnes & Noble. The Youtube commercials are: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iD66NUKmZPs and http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jVslyHmDy9A&feature=related To review the book signing and great conversation, please visit the novels' FACEBOOK page at: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Buffalo-Soldier-Novel-Rescue-at-Pine-Ridge...

Rescue at Pine Ridge is the story of the 9th Cavalry from its Congressional conception in 1866, to the rescue of the famed 7th Cavalry by the 9th Cavalry Buffalo Soldiers in 1890. The 7th Cavalry was entrapped again, after the Little Big Horn Massacre, fourteen years later, the day after the Wounded Knee Massacre. If it wasn't for the 9th Cavalry Buffalo Soldiers, there would of been a second massacre of the 7th Cavalry. This story has 'never' been told in length until now.

The 7th was arrogant in their duties, with revenge in their hearts for 'Little Big Horn', and this is proven the next day after the Wounded Knee Massacre, when they rode into a trap in the box canyon, because they 'did not' send out scouts, to scout the area, for if they did, they wouldn't have ridden into a trap.

Revenge is a word, 'that' does not stand in military terms, as a military action, therefore; when a military unit commits revenge, there 'is' no honor! Revenge is the only word you could put on this stupidity of killing 350 old women, old men and children with rifles, gatling guns and hotchkiss cannons which fire one explosive shrapnel shall as fast the cannon could be loaded, up to 2 miles. What honor is there in such an action?

More Medals of Honor were given to the 7th Cavalry for Wounded Knee, for revenge, then all America's troops received for Normandy, D-Day, WW-II. This story is about, brutality, compassion, revenge, bravery, heroism and gallantry.

The story embodies the Native Americans, Outlaws, and African-American/Black Soldiers, from the south to the north, in the days of the Native American Wars with the approaching Untied States of America.

As you'll see on the Rescue at Pine Ridge website, renown educational institutions have purchased the novel, i.e., USC-University of Southern California, Xavier University, Louisiana and etc.

I am available for speaking engagements regarding the novel, Rescue at Pine Ridge and the history of the Buffalo Soldiers, four generations.

Nice article are post.....kaizen ephedrine

I've looked all over your website for writer submission guidelines and come up empty. Can you tell me, first, do you accept outside submissions, and, second, can you tell me where I can find your submission guidelines.

I'm also working on a short film — 10-15 mins — about cowboy culture and traditions from the perspective of 3 generations of ranchers/cowboys. I'd like to know to whom I should send a query letter.

Thanks!
