<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>Charles Wolfe Collins is an Irish immigrant, ex-spy, Pinkerton operative, and a veteran of the Civil War. Collins is being sent on a hazardous assignment by President Grant in 1876, the nation's centennial. President Grant has recently received intelligence in military dispatches that there had been white men fighting alongside the Indians at the Battle of the Little Big Horn. He wants Collins to investigate and report back regarding the identity of these men. Collins embarks on a long journey into remote regions of Montana Territory, picking up clues along the way, and is eventually accompanied by a Native American woman guide, whose motives for taking Collins deep into Indian country are inscrutable. As the two proceed into the middle of a deadly conflict between vengeful soldiers and embittered Lakota warriors, they must cross an expansive cultural gap and learn to trust each other. At great risk, they seek to solve a mystery, documented in forgotten historical and military records, which could pose serious ramifications for American politics and the course of Federal Indian Policy in the territories of the United States.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>"The pages started to flow as I found myself becoming more intrigued with the narrative and involved with the characters. Juliana Clayton's historical accuracy, cultural knowledge and sensitivity, combined with a keen awareness of the environment, constantly engage the reader with a plausible alternative to traditional history. This is a good story in that it is not only entertaining, but it also has some very educational elements in it as well." </p><p>-- Jeffrey M. Sanders, Ph.D. Professor Emeritus, Native American Studies, Montana State University-Billings</p><p><br></p><p>"I think it [Commendable Discretion] is an intriguing mix of history and cultural differences that still exist today...some healing. The more some differences heal the more influx of stereotype continue due to the ignorance of many and a those who tend to hide behind their so-called educational intelligence. Commendable Discretion uncovered some age old and underexposed thoughts, feelings, emotions and possibly history."</p><p>--Tiokasin Ghosthorse, Cheyenne River Lakota Nation, Indigenous rights activist, Guest Faculty, Yale University School of Divinity, Ecology and Forestry </p><p><br></p><p>""Juliana Clayton's talent with descriptive narrative is a thrill to read. <em>Commendable Discretion</em> is a masterpiece of very nice scene setting and dialogue." </p><p>--Bruce Johansen, Frederick W. Kayser University Research Professor Emeritus, Communication and Native American Studies, University of Nebraska at Omaha</p><br>
