This book invitingly shares insight not only into the Indian Fighters thinking, but also into what 19th Century Americans thought of the Indian Wars. A graphic account of Custer's last fight on the Little Big Horn with his wily foe, SITTING BULL, can be found in on pages 397 - 430. Additionally, there are sketches and anecdotes of the most renowned guides, scouts and plainsmen of the West. Pages 515 - 540 tell about George Crook's Campaign. His role in the Indian Wars was significant and was once again, recognized by General Grant for his leadership skills in the Civil War, placed in command of the Arizona Territory.  Crook's use of Apache scouts brought him much success in forcing the Apache Indians, under Chief Cochise, onto reservations. In 1872 the Arizona Territory was at peace and GENERAL CROOK was appointed Brigadier General in the regular Army.  He next served against the Sioux in the 1876 Powder River Expedition. He fought the Lakota at the Battle of the Rosebud, as well as at the Tongue River. By 1882, the Apaches had once again taken up arms against the U.S. army under the leadership of Geronimo.  Crook repeatedly forced the surrender of the Apaches but saw GERONIMO escape. The Apache, as a mark of respect, nicknamed Crook Nantan Lupan, which means "Grey Fox." After years of campaigning in the Indian Wars, Crook won steady promotion back up the ranks to the permanent grade of Major General, and President Grover Cleveland placed him in command of the Department of the West in 1888. This book is beautifully illustrated with an astounding 70 ILLUSTRATIONS!!!
