The varied and colorful career of Charles Wesley Allen (1851-1942)
took him throughout the northern Plains during an exceptionally
turbulent era in its history. He was at the Red Cloud Agency when
Red Cloud attempted to prevent the raising of the American flag and
the Lakota nearly took over the agency. Allen also visited Deadwood
at the height of the Black Hills gold rush, helped build the first
government agency on the Pine Ridge reservation, and reported on
the Lakota Ghost Dance. Allen happened to be walking through the
Indian camp at Wounded Knee when shots rang out on December 29,
1890, and his is arguably the best of all the eyewitness accounts
of that tragedy. This is Allen's previously unpublished vivid
account of the years he described as "the most exciting chapter of
my life." As much the chronicle of the passing of an era as a
personal narrative, its simple, direct, and often moving prose
captures the injustices, gritty details, and relentless energy of a
period of dramatic change in the West.
