Swimming Man Burning

"There is wild poetry to Kilpatrick’s writing, rooted in the facts of history and still deeper in the lore and plight of the Indian, that makes Swimming Man Burning more than just another Wild West adventure story." —Publishers Weekly

“This off-beat story has enough twists and rich humor to satisfy the most critical reader while still making some very poignant observations about the Old West and the tragedy that would eventually envelop the Indians, the ill-fated 7th Cavalry and General George Custer.” —Robert F. Walch, Journal of the West, July 1996
