Förlagets beskrivning
A concise history of Plains Indian tribal warfare
Few people who cross the Great Plains today remember that for centuries the land was a battleground where Indian nations fought one another for their own survival. Even among those aware of the history, Plains Indian conflicts have been seen largely in terms of American conquest.
Tribal Wars of the Southern Plains is a comprehensive account of Indian conflicts in the area between the Platte River and the Rio Grande, from the first written reports of the Spaniards in the sixteenth century through the U.S.-Cheyenne Battle of the Sand Hills in 1875. This readable volume traces the victories and defeats of such chiefs as Lone Wolf, Satanta, Black Kettle, and Dull Knife as they signed treaties, led attacks, battled for land, and defended their villages in the plains home to the Wichitas, Commanches, Cheyennes, Arapahos, Kiowas, Osages, Pawnees, and other Indian tribes. Unlike many previous studies of the Plains Indian wars, this one-volume synthesis chronicles both the Indian-white wars and the intertribal conflicts.
Stan Hoig details the numerous battles and the major treaties. He also explains the Plains Indian warrior ethic and the role of medicine men, the Sun Dance, tactics, and spirituality in Plains warfare
