The Story
After years of research, independent history scholar Gregory Michno has created a chronological listing of every significant fight between Indians and the United States Army, as well as betterknown Indian battles with civilians. In addition, Michno interprets the data to reveal patterns and draw conclusions, some of which challenge the current orthodoxy among historians, such as the revisionist contention that the wild West is a myth. Numerous maps, photogrpahs, and tables supplement the text to enhance the readers understanding. This detailed study is more than a reference book: its an illuminating portrayal of a violent era and a compelling examination of the machinations of frontier warfare.
