The U.S. Army didn't quite know what to do with Captain John Early. But he would never consider mustering out. So the army's plan was to get him out of the way. They assigned him to camp Sheridan - to protect the same Indians he'd been fighting all his life. It was a job they thought no one could handle, and Early was a man they could afford to lose. They just didn't know how good a soldier they'd created. Because Captain John Early would indeed protect his charges - even from the army itself.
