Riassunto

This volume offers accounts of the many battles and skirmishes in the Great Sioux War as they were observed by participating officers, enlisted men, scouts, surgeons, and newspaper correspondents. The selections-some rendered immediately after the encounters and some set down in reminiscences years later - are important and little-known sources of information about the war. By their personal nature, they give a compelling sense of immediacy to the actions.

The editor’s introduction and commentary on each of the accounts help readers understand the interrelationship of events and appreciate the entire spectrum of the conflict.

Product Description:

The Great Sioux War of 1876-77 is memorable to most Americans because of Lieutenant Colonel George A. Custer's last stand at the Battle of the Little Big Horn. Yet despite its infamy, it was only one engagement of many in the protracted, disjointed struggle between the US Army and the allied Sioux and Northern Cheyenne Indians. "Battles and Skirmishes of the Great Sioux War, 1876-77" presents the military side of the struggle and offers 15 accounts, with maps, of the many engagements as they were observed by participating officers, enlisted men, scouts, surgeons and newspaper correspondents.
