An exceptional military family raises a young girl in some of the most interesting military posts in Indian Territory (Oklahoma), Texas and Arizona during a stunning period of history that has few clear pictures of what was happening. Birdie Cooper records it all and shares her knowledge of men otherwise without a real historical voice, such as Quanah Parker and Geronimo. One of two officers that escorted her on evening horse back rides from Ft. Davis, Texas became a Metal of Honor recipient. Her father was the officer of black soldiers in some of the West's most difficult situations. I'm sure, whatever you pay for this book - it will pay you more enjoyment dividends than anything else you could have spent it on - ENJOY!
