Traveler's Guide to the Great Sioux War* (ebook)

The Battlefields, Forts, and Related Sites of America's Greatest Indian War by Paul L. Hedren

Fueled by the glitter of Black Hills gold, the Great Sioux War of 1876–1877 transformed the vast northern plains from Indian and buffalo country to the domain of miners, cattlemen, and other  settlers. Keyed to official highway maps, this richly illustrated guide leads the traveler to virtually every principal military landmark associated with the war, from Fort Phil Kearny where the Sioux besieged soldiers sent to guard the Bozeman Trail in the 1860s to Fort Buford, the site of Sitting Bull's surrender in 1881.
