First published in 1999, 'Faraway Blue' is based on the real-life
exploits of Sergeant Moses Williams, former slave, Civil War
veteran, and Buffalo Soldier in the Ninth Cavalry Regiment.
Included in Moses's story are four women and two men representing
the ethnic groups and economic levels found in the late 1800s
American Southwest. At the story's opening, Williams' cavalry unit
has one assignment: kill Apaches in the 'faraway blue' mountains of
southeastern New Mexico Territory, also known as the Black Range.
As a fighter in the white man's campaign to obliterate the Indians
and take over their lands, Williams finds a nemesis in Nana, an old
Warm Springs Apache warrior who is a tactical genius. Nana leads
his small band of followers to repeatedly strike area mining camps
and settlements. Both men know they must meet before the end of the
war and a maddening cat-and-mouse pursuit ensues. Williams is
sustained by his love for Sheela Jones, a mulatto whom he wants to
marry when the army will allow it. But Sheela's love for Moses
guides her to take an immense risk just as Moses and Nana ride out
to settle their score.
