The Horns of the Buffalo by John Wilcox

Another series of good historical military adventures! Huzzah!

This series is about one Simon Fonthill, an infantry officer . It's set in the 1870s and this first novel has him drawn into the Zulu war, specifically the battle of Rorke's Drift.

It's a good story, and the fact that the period is mid/late Victorian rather than Napoleonic is a nice change.
