On the Border with Crook: General George Crook, the American Indian Wars, and Life on the American Frontier

Description

After serving over 15 years with General George Crook, John Gregory Bourke, his right hand man, sat down to write of his time with the legendary US Army officer in the post Civil War West.
‘On the Border with Crook’ is a firsthand account of Crook’s campaigns during the American Indian Wars.
Observant and inquisitive, Bourke brings to life the entire American frontier.
In sharp descriptions and detailed anecdotes, he sketched vivid pictures not only of Crook and fellow cavalrymen but also of legendary Native American leaders such as Sitting Bull, Crazy Horse, and Geronimo.
