"A long association with the Cheyennes has given me a special
interest in them, and a special wish that they should be allowed to
speak for themselves. What the Indians saw in the battles here
described, I have learned during years of intimate acquaintance
with those who took part in them."-George Bird Grinnell. Without
critical comment or biased judgement, George Bird Grinnell-one of
the truly great historians of the American Indian-has recorded the
major battles that the Cheyennes fought. In this account the entire
gallery of the heroic Cheyenne chiefs and warriors-Roman Nose and
Black Kettle and Dull Knife and many others-emerge in full color as
they strive against the greatest enemy of all: the failure of the
white man to understand and appreciate their way of life and his
ignorance of their real capacity for peace and cooperation.
"[Grinnell's] integrity, sincerity, sympathy, and understanding
made him welcome in every tipi. . . . He was one of the very few
historians who knew how to get authentic information from Indians,
and how to present things as they saw them in readable
form."-Stanley Vestal in the foreword. George Bird Grinnell was a
man of diverse talents-editor, author, traveler, and scientist.
Born in 1849, he became, by turn of the century, one of the
best-known and most popular interpreters of the American Indian.
