If the American West was a place for heroes, what then was Harry Flashman doing there? Among other things, he was fleeing a murder charge…travelling with a brothel on wheels towards the California goldfields…betraying the scarler woman who loved him…tricking the noble redmen while seducing their women...studiously ignoring all calls of duty and honour as he dealts with the likes of Wild Bill Hickok, Geronimo, Kit Carson, Crazy Horse, and George Custer...and reaching his moment of supreme inglory and fear under fire at the Battle of Little Big Horn. Yes, Flashman was back in the thick of things - making the kind of history you will never learn in school.
