From AudioFile
Just ten years after the Civil War, we find ourselves enlisted in the U.S. Army, hunting Dakota Sioux. Private Shafter gets promoted but must fight and conquer a tough Irish sergeant. Well-mixed action and exposition produce a historical novel taking place under the command of General Custer. Arthur Addison's bass voice crackles lightly, timidly turning out credible characters, especially a nasty drunk. Love blossoms without sex, and tempers ignite without four-letter words. Lead, scalpings, and the "thrup" of arrows create a compelling family audiobook parents could enjoy with their families from reveille to taps.

Book Description
Rumors of a campaign against Sitting Bull cut through the ranks like a cold wind. Who would lead the charge? In Bugles in the Afternoon, legendary Western writer Ernest Haycox relates a compelling tale of Custer's famed Seventh Cavalry and its fate at the Battle of the Little Bighorn in a balanced mix of action, exposition, and history. Originally published in 1943, this classic work is now back in print in a new paperback edition. Historian Richard W. Etulain examines the novel's history and Haycox's impact on a timeless genre in an original foreword. Ernest Haycox Jr. provides unique insight into his father's writing regimen and commitment to authenticity in his introduction.
