About this title

Review:

"King's book begins with the departure of the Fifth United States Cavalry from its headquarters at Fort Hays, Kansas, in June of 1876. It is virtually the only contemporary history of the campaign to trace the movement of that regiment to Fort Laramie, to the famous skirmish on War Bonnet Creek, and then through the long march to the headquarters of Crook's Big Horn and Yellowstone Expedition at Goose Creek, Montana."--"Wisconsin Magazine"
