About the book.

This book covers all seven main elements of the Sioux people: the four tribes that made up the Dakota or eastern division the Mdewakanton, Wahpekute, Sisseton, and Wahpeton. The Middle Sioux or Nakota division comprised the Yankton and Yanktonai; and the Western Sioux or Lakota Division- the largest subtribe outnumbering the other six together. This book tackles the topic of the Sioux tribes for fought for, or more often against, the US in the mid-late 19th Century. It is a detailed source on the clothing and material culture of these peoples, and also provides a good foundation for the study of their culture. My reason for giving it only three stars is that it strays from the main thrust of the Osprey Men-at-Arms series. Easily half the figures in the plates are either women or unarmed males, and the text does not discuss the armament of fighting styles of these warrriors in detail. For someone like me who is seeking an Osprey book that is truly about the Amerindian warriors, there are better alternatives (notably Comanche 1800-1875).
