Watson. In addition to its breathtaking account of their collaboration on a case of diabolic conspiracy in which the lives of millions hang in the balance\, it reveals such matters as the real identity of the heinous professor Moriarty\, the dark secret shared by Sherlock and his brother Mycroft Holmes\, and the detective's true whereabouts during the Great Hiatus\, when the world believed him to be dead.

In the end\, the U.S. Army prevailed\, but at a significant cost. Hedren examines the war's effects on the culture\, environment\, and geography of the northern Great Plains\, their Native inhabitants\, and the Anglo-American invaders.. Hedren examines the events of 1876-77 and their aftermath as a whole\, taking into account relationships among military leaders\, the building of forts\, and the army's efforts to memorialize the war and its victims. Woven into his narrative are the voices of those who witnessed such events as the burial of Custer\, the laying of railroad track\, or the sudden surround of a buffalo herd. Their personal testimonies lend both vibrancy and pathos to this story of irreversible change in Sioux Country.
