A winner of the 2002 PEN USA Award and author of three books, “Ghost Soldiers,” “Americana,” and most recently, “Blood and Thunder: An Epic of the American West,” Hampton Sides’s work has run the gauntlet for Outside.

He talks to Anthony Cerretani about the assignment and his career as a best-selling author.
