From 1832 to 1891 the states from the Great Lakes west to Oregon
and south to Mexico saw scenes of massacre, bloody rout, amabush,
fire, and pillage as the great Indian tribes--Blackfoot, Cheyenne,
Sioux, Arapaho, Modoc, and Apache--fought desperately to turn back
the invading white men. Recreated in this volume are twenty-odd
battles crucial in the opening of the American West to white
settlement. Among the battles included here are the Pierre's Hole
fight, the battle of Bandera Pass, the battle of Pyramid Lake, the
battle of Wood Lake, the Canyon de Chelly rout, the battles of
Adobe Walls, the Fetterman, Hayfield, and Wagon Box fights, the
fight at Beecher Island, the battle of the Washita, the battles of
Massacre Canyon and Palo Duro Canyon, the battle of the Rosebud,
the battle of the Little Bighorn, the Dull Knife massacre, and the
final, tragic battle at Wounded Knee. "A fine guide to the conflict
that transpired across the wide Missouri."--San Francisco Sunday
Chronicle "An excellent account of most of the major fights between
the white man and the Indian in...the western part of the United
States." --Library Journal "Two dozen of the most celebrated and
hair-raising Indian fights on record. Good, solid reading, and a
whole peck of it."--New York Times Book Review
