Founded in 1834 on the high plains of present-day eastern
Wyoming. Fort Laramie evolved into an organizational hub and chief
supply center for the U.S. Army in its campaigns against the Sioux
and Cheyenne Indians. "Fort Laramie and the Great Sioux War"
focuses on a crucial year in the history of the fort, 1876. That
was the year of General George Crook's Big Horn; the Black Hills
gold rush; and chaos at the Red Cloud and Spotted Tail Indian
agencies. Paul Hedren draws upon official army records, diaries,
and journals to illuminate a fort-based history of the Great Sioux
War, and for this edition he also provides a new preface.
