Description
This is the fourth volume in a planned five-volume series that will tell the saga of the military struggle for the American West in the words of the soldiers, noncombatants, and Native Americans who shaped it. Patterned after the classic Battles and Leaders of the Civil War, the series will represent the most comprehensive work on the Indian Wars yet published. This latest installment contains accounts from such notable figures as George Custer, Philip Sheridan, Nelson A. Miles, and artist Frederic Remington.
