Excerpt from Indian Fights and Fighters
With intervals devoted to other duties, I have been over a year and a half engaged in this congenial task. I have written literally hundreds of letters, to learn, or to verify, a fact, an incident, or a conclusion. It is interesting to call attention to the fact that information has been freely and generously given to me from every source whence I have asked it save three, one of which is noted in the appendix.
It is my hope to continue this series Of books until I have covered all the wars that have been fought upon the American Continent since Columbus's day.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book recounts the dangerous and often overlooked chapter of American history: the frontier wars. The book tells a chilling and captivating story of conflict on the Powder River, a territory contested by Native Americans and white settlers during the 1860s. The author recounts the struggles faced by General Carrington and his troops as they attempt to establish a series of forts to secure the Bozeman Trail. The book details the constant skirmishes, the brutal conditions, and the tragedy of the infamous Fetterman Massacre. This account, based on eyewitness testimonies, personal letters, and historical records, offers a glimpse into the intense and desperate fight for survival on the American frontier. It delves into the complex and often misunderstood motivations of both the Native Americans and the white settlers involved, providing a sobering look at the human cost of territorial expansion and the clash of two very different ways of life.
