Arrow in the Dust (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781962896672)

Their History Was Written in Blood.

It's 1869. A wagon train of restless, rootless men and women moves through a death-infested wasteland to a life in Oregon the settlers hope might be a little better than the one they've left behind. The nearest settlement is 300 miles to the east...and waiting for them to the west are a thousand Apaches and Pawness who've bled for their land...and will again. The wagon train's only escort are seventy raw recruits, led by a deserter with a price on his head who is masquerading as a general. They may be doomed... but hope, fortitude, and pure grit might just get them to the promised land.

Leonard London Foreman (1901-1969) was a prolific western author, perhaps best known for his "Preacher Devlin" stories, which were published between 1934 and 1949. Four of his stories were made into movies, including The Savage starring Charlton Heston, and two were adapted into Cheyenne episodes.
