Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. From the diaries of George Belden comes a journey across the American frontier brought to life by this explorer and chronicler. As a teenager, As a teenager, Belden escaped his staid life of normalcy and built a new life among the Sioux, mastering their language and culture. His close bond with a Sioux woman, and his role as both participant and observer, offer an unmatched view into tribal life during an era of turbulent transformation. Belden's recollections, documented by James Brisbin-himself a cavalryman, writer, and adventurer-trace encounters with renowned military leaders and Indigenous allies on the eve of pivotal moments like the Battle of the Little Bighorn. Belden's tale is one of narrow escapes, hard-won trust, and the daily realities of survival on the open plains. This edition brings clarity and fresh annotations to his original writings, shining a light on both the harsh challenges and deep connections that defined the frontier experience. "Twelve Years" appeals to anyone fascinated by true narratives of Native American heritage, Indian wars of the west, and historical adventure. This item is printed on demand.
