Pearce Hanlon and a troop of Cavalry, commanded by Lieutenant Wesley Coleman, left Apache Station who then become harassed, and attacked by a combined force of Yaqui, Tonto, Mescalero, and Chiricahua Apache in the southeastern desert of Arizona. This is a tragedy about the death of so much humanity, Indian and white man is so outstanding, it's frightening. This is a life and death struggle for the troop as they frantically try to make it back to Fort Thomas while under attack of the Apache. There is action inside the action. There is almost constant action and drama, with a little comedy to raise a smile and possibly a chuckle.
