American by Blood

In American by Blood,three U.S. Army scouts arrive a day late to join General Custer at Little Bighorn. They come upon the ruins of the Seventh Cavalry, a trail of blood and corpses defiled by wild dogs and swarms of flies. It is a scene that will haunt them for the rest of their lives. With the loss at Little Bighorn, the three men find their mission to help clear the land of Indian tribes becoming one of vengeance. As they journey into the dense forests and high plains of the Old West, each man finds more than he bargained for in this epic story that shatters some of our nation's most central myths.
