Personal experiences of war against the Plains Indians
With the conclusion of the Civil War the American nation turned
once again to its 'Manifest Destiny' in earnest, and as the
influence of the 'white man' became an ever greater burden upon the
hitherto wild western frontier the inevitable escalation of
antipathy and open warfare flared with the indigenous Indian tribes
of the Great Plains. The 'Winter Campaign ' of 1868 saw the
military men who had become household names during the war between
the States-among them Sheridan and Custer-once more in the field to
subjugate the Sioux, the Cheyenne and their allies. This campaign
is reported here by one who took part in it-one of that resolute
breed of nineteenth century journalists the special correspondent.
So the story of Forsyth's defence of Beecher's Island, The Battle
of the Washita and other famous and notable fights are eloquently
recounted within these pages together with the writers own personal
experiences of camp, campaign and conflict. This is an excellent
chronicle of the Plains Indian Wars and an essential addition to
every library of the subject. Available in hardback with dust
jacket for collectors and a softback edition.
