From 1860 to 1890 the United States military engaged in war after
war with the indigenous peoples of the West. Although numerous
treaties recognized the rights of individual tribes, the U.S.
government often did nothing to stop settlers from expanding into
Indian territory. Some Indians fled, and others attempted to
coexist with the newcomers, but many fought against the loss of
homelands and traditional ways of life. Superior numbers,
organization, and technology benefited the United States, yet
Indian resistance was often skillful, heroic, and tenacious.
This informative work serves as a guide to the battlefields and
fits the episodes into the larger historical drama. John D.
McDermott, who has spent a lifetime researching the events,
discusses the equipment, organization, and lifeways of the
combatants. He explains circumstances underlying the encounters and
analyzes the significance of events. This detailed guide also leads
students, tourists, and history buffs to monuments, parks, museums,
and other sources of information about the wars.
