"Interview With Miles Hood Swarthout
A Classic in the making. . .
"The Sergeant's Lady"
Written by Carla Fischer

Miles Hood Swarthout , a Malibu local, has skillfully crafted this tempestuous frontier history into his new novel,
The Sergeant's Lady . This Western was inspired by a 1959 short story, "The Attack On The Mountain," by his late father,

In The Sergeant's Lady ,
Miles writes about the renegade Apache bands still raiding ranches and small towns on both sides of the Mexican border in 1886, and the large number of military men, 6000 troops, one-quarter of the entire U.

Naiche's (Cochise's 2nd son) band of renegade Chiricahuas on their final, almost suicidal, raid up into Arizona from their sanctuary in Mexico's Sierra Madres, and the five-man detail of soldiers
operating a heliograph (sun-flashing) observation station passing Morse-coded military messages between mountaintops. This is the first Western ever set against the backdrop of
General Miles' new 33-station heliograph net"
