All John Henry wanted to do in 1846 was wave the flag and fight his country's enemies. But when the United States Army of the West enters Santa Fé at the opening of the war with Mexico, his world is turned upside down. In Santa Fé he meets Morita. His mind opens, and he begins to wonder whether he can support this war against a people who have not wronged him or his country.

About this title

From the Back Cover:

John Henry Harris is a dragoon in the United States Army of the West that invades northern Mexico in 1846. The young soldier is eager to wave the flag and fight for his country. But John Henry's world is soon turned upside down. In Santa Fé he meets Morita and falls in love. Finding no enemies in Santa Fé, John Henry questions whether he can support this war against a people who have committed no wrong against him or the United States.
