John Gregory Bourke kept a monumental set of diaries as
aide-de-camp to Brigadier General George Crook. This second volume
(of a projected set of six) opens as Crook prepares for the
expedition that would lead to his infamous and devastating Horse
Meat March. Although Bourke retains his loyalty to Crook throughout
the detailed account, his patience is sorely tried at times.
Bourke's description of the march is balanced by an appendix
containing letters and reports by others such as Lt. Walter
Schuyler and Surgeon Bennett Clements. The diary continues with the
story of the Powder River Expedition, culminating in Bourke's
eyewitness description of Col. Ranald Mackenzie's destruction of
the main Cheyenne camp in what became known as the Dull knife
Fight. Bourke finishes this volume with a retrospective of his
service in Tucson, Arizona. Each volume in the series is
extensively annotated and contains a biographical appendix on
Indians, civilians, and military personnel named in the volume.
