Then, between 1856 and 1879, they fought a series of memorable battles with white settlers who in greater and greater numbers were pushing into the West~battles that have made the Cheyennes a legend in American history. Written by famed naturalist and student of Indian life George Bird Grinnell, The Fighting Cheyennes is a vivid chronicle of these proud, headstrong, and brave warriors, presenting detailed accounts of their many battles with other tribes and the encroaching white settlers. Originally published in 1915, the book draws on first~hand accounts of those who actually took part in the later battles ~ both Cheyennes and whites ~ to present a colorful and action~packed panorama of the fierce ways of Cheyennes on the Western plains. Included are dramatic stories of the early 19th~century Cheyenne wars with the Crows and the Kiowas, the Comanches and the Pawnees. Here also are incomparable descriptions of historic battles with the white settlers, such as the Sand Creek Massacre, the Platte Bridge Fight, the Hancock Campaign, and the Beecher Island Fight. Readers will find stirring accounts of the Fight at Adobe Walls, the Custer Battle, the Capture of Dull Knife's Village, the Lame Deer Fight, and much more. Featuring maps of the Western plains and important battle sites, this modestly~priced, high~quality edition of The Fighting Cheyennes now offers a new generation the chance to read and savor one of the great narratives of warfare in the American West.
