In the annals of all the military services there are events that may or may not be fact. This story is about one of those events. It falls somewhere between the realm of truth, fiction, fact and folklore. Major Samuel Nathan Kidd commands his regiment into the field against an Apache myth called Red Hawk. Red Hawk's band leads the cavalry on a long and difficult campaign that covers an area the size of many states. The chase, with Major Kidd leading his cavalry troop runs from Fort Davis down to the Mexican border, back north through the mountains along the Rio Grande, to the southern edge of the Territory of New Mexico and, finally, to a mesa north of the Davis Mountains in pursuit of Red Hawk. This is a place where all the bravery, cunning and wit of both sides will be tested. This is a story of the men of the 8th, 9th, and 10th Cavalry, showing unusual bravery, devotion and loyalty to their commander, fellow troopers and the regiment. Men of several races, colors and backgrounds find they are molded together in a struggle to overcome tremendous odds. This is also a story of three tribes of Indians. Led by a myth, as they try one more desperate effort to free themselves of their oppressors and regain their homelands. So . . . this may be myth or legend. It may be real or not, but these are men of great valor and strong convictions. On this campaign the courage of every man will be challenged at "The Last Hill".

The events surrounding the legend of The Mystic Medicine Man almost surpass the imagination. How could these things have happened? How could a White Eyes become a Kiowa medicine man? What unexplainable events brought such foreign cultures together in an area now known as the Panhandle of Texas, Panhandle of Oklahoma and the Territory of New Mexico? This story stands as one of the strangest to come out of the period following the Civil War. This story, like so many from this time period, may be more myth than fact. So, listen to the sounds of running water, the crackling of the lodge fire, a soft song flute and the pounding of the war drum. This period almost brings to an end the old Kiowa culture and points them to a new path and new beginnings. The Kiowa pass through a period when one culture will almost disappear while another takes its place and becomes a blending of those two cultures. When the tale finishes the reader can decide if this story is myth, fact or fiction.
