The great clash between the U.S Army and the Plains Indian tribes
Everyone who has been fascinated by the history of the American
western frontier has much for which to thank Cyrus Townsend Brady,
the author of this book. Brady was a prolific author of both
fiction and non fiction and in both genres his abiding interest and
knowledge of the history of his own country is a well demonstrated.
This book, 'Indian Fights and Fighters, ' captivated readers upon
its publication and its success made the series of which it was
part highly popular, although it was the fourth, not the first in
his 'American Fights and Fighters Series.' Several more 'Fights and
Fighters' books, based upon similar themes, followed. Brady
relates-with some scholarship and with the help of maps, plans and
illustrations-the principal engagements of the Plains Indian Wars
in the period after the Civil War. The book draws on the first hand
accounts of many of the people who were involved and is notable for
bringing before the reader accounts by those who had not previously
been published. Herein is a veritable cornucopia of western
incident, campaigns, battles, fights and massacres, the full list
of which is too numerous to catalogue here. They include the
Fetterman Massacre, the Wagon Box Fight, Beecher's Island, the
Fight on Beaver Creek, the Washita, the Rosebud and many, many
more. This book has become an invaluable, highly regarded and
enduring classic of the History of the West. Available in softcover
and hardcover with dustjacket for collectors.
