Montana Battlefields 1806-1877:Native Americans and the U.S. Army at War

Description

Montana’s era of Indian Wars consisted of nearly a century of skirmishes, battles, and large-scale wars between the U.S. military and native nations, including Blackfeet, Sioux, Northern Cheyennes, Arapahos, Gros Ventres, and Nez Perces — and the army’s Crow and Shoshone allies.
These battlegrounds remain today, a testament to the clash of cultures that defined the region in the nineteenth century.
Author Barbara Fifer takes readers on a historic journey to the solemn sites of Montana’s most fascinating and storied battles, from Two Medicine Creek to the Little Bighorn and on to the Sweetgrass Hills, revealing engaging tale — from fighters and witnesses on both sides.
