Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book offers a gripping account of one of the most pivotal Indian campaigns of the late 19th-century American frontier - the second of four campaigns that ultimately broke the power of Native American tribes, compelling them to accept reservation life. The author, an acting inspector-general in the Department of the Missouri, led a scouting party of 50 frontiersmen into the conflict. This book details their harrowing experiences, including a dramatic and nearly overwhelming dawn ambush by hundreds of warriors. Despite being outnumbered, outgunned, and surrounded, the author and his men held their ground, repelling repeated attacks with discipline and determination. The author provides fascinating insights into the tactics and strategies of both sides, and explores the complex motivations and perspectives of the Native Americans who fought against the encroaching settlers and encroaching civilization. Through the author's vivid prose, readers gain a profound understanding of the conflict and its lasting impact on the American West. This book is a valuable contribution to the historical record and a thrilling adventure story of courage, resilience, and the clash of cultures on the American frontier. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
