Even in death, Custer continues to be dangerous to the red people. Yes, because the admiration enjoyed by his memory shows no signs of diminishing, and there are always some hotheads willing to use him to rekindle hatred against the Indians... For this reason, General Davis asks Tex and Carson to meet Thomas Farrell, a journalist determined to write a rigorous biography of the vainglorious "Long Hair", so that a more truthful and less celebratory portrait can emerge. And so Tex begins to talk about when he and Carson joined Custer on an expedition to the Black Hills and how they discovered that new winds of war were about to blow over the region... The plot against Custer is becoming ever tighter, and only the readiness of Tex and Carson prevents those who wanted to kill the proud officer from carrying out their criminal plan. But a new danger appears on the horizon, this time threatening the survival not of just one man, but of an entire people: it is the gold that abounds in the Black Hills, exciting the greed of those who would like to wrest the Sacred Hills from the Sioux... Events come to a head, also thanks to the mad ambition that devours General Custer's heart. Determined as he is to definitively close the game with the Sioux, the vainglorious soldier does not listen to any opinion, and not even Tex and Carson will be able to make him understand that he is leading his Seventh Cavalry into a deadly trap. Five thousand warriors, belonging to the most important Indian nations of the plains, gathered at the confluence of the Rosebud and the Little Bighorn, galvanized by the victory achieved over General Crook. Sitting Bull and Crazy Horse lead the army of the red people, and when Custer realizes that he has made a fatal mistake in not waiting for the columns of Gibbon and Captain Benteen, it is too late. Revenge for the Washita River Massacre may run its course!
