This is a fascinating tale of Native life on the upper plains, Native views of their adversaries, post Civil War officers’ views of Natives and all the crazy things both sets of men did to either maintain the Heart of Everything That Is, or to settle the American West. These are the kind of stories, endemic to our identity, that we miss out on when we don’t teach “critical race theory” Please read this book.g

Very informative reading!!!

A great read of the battle between Indigenous People and the greedy white man.

The author seems to justify the slaughter the Indians caused trying to keep their way of life but condemns the whites for trying to live the life they wanted. The Indians took the land from other Indians the way whites took from the Indians. He also failed to mention, in his attempt to make Red Cloud look like a genius, that the following officer to take over the fort handed Red Cloud the worst losing battle in history where Red Cloud sent over 1,000 Indians in dead and wounded in a failed attack on only 34 soldiers.

Simply a great read!!!!!! Great insights onto the savagery of the Indian Wars and more importantly the philosophy that drove the two sides. Fast paced....great story telling and informative. A MUST read!!!!
