Blood, guts, dust and hatred: the real history of the American
West. Today is a Good Day to Fight covers the period from the
initial penetration of the region by settlers and prospectors in
the 1840s until the end of the Indian Wars in the 1890s. It
explains the history of white-Indian conflict from the military
point of view, showing how the United States used its army to wage
terrible wars of conquest upon Native American peoples in order to
take the land from them and enrich the growing nation, and how the
Indians never really stood a chance in trying to defend their
homelands. Highlighting the fractious and bitter relations between
tribes unable and unwilling to unite in time to stave off their
common enemy, it tries to portray the utter bitterness of the
conflict between white and Indian, and how both sides resorted to
increasingly foul acts of war and slaughter as the conflict
progressed. A dirty, underhanded and scrappy conflict, the outrages
committed by both sides fuelled bitterness and resentment that
still exists in America today.
