Shortly after Custer's defeat in the Battle of the Little
Bighorn, Colonel Nelson A. Miles and his Fifth Infantry launched
several significant campaigns to destroy the Lakota-Northern
Cheyenne coalition in the Yellowstone River basin. Miles's
expeditions involved relentless pursuit and attack throughout the
winter months, culminating in the Lame Deer Fight of May 1877, the
last major engagement of the Great Sioux War.
"Yellowstone Command" is the first detailed account of the
harrowing 1876-1877 campaigns. Drawing from Indian testimonies and
many previously untapped sources, Jerome A. Greene reconstructs the
ambitious battles of Colonel Miles and his foot soldiers. This
paperback edition of "Yellowstone Command" features a new preface
by the author.
