Few places provided a more storied backdrop for key events
related to the high plains Indian wars than had Fort Robinson,
Nebraska. Established in 1874 just south of the Black Hills, Fort
Robinson witnessed many of the most dramatic, most tragic
encounters between whites and American Indians, including the
Cheyenne Outbreak, the death of Crazy Horse, the Ghost Dance, the
desperation and diplomacy of such famed Plains Indian leaders as
Dull Knife and Red Cloud, and the tragic sequence of events
surrounding Wounded Knee.
In "Fort Robinson and the American West, 1874-1899," Thomas R.
Buecker explores both the larger story of the Nebraska fort and the
particulars of daily life and work at the fort. Buecker draws on
historic reminiscences, government records, reports,
correspondence, and other official accounts to render a thorough
yet lively depiction.
