The wars which took place between 1860 and 1890 in the American West were among the most tragic ever fought. One civilization was pitted against another, vying for dominance of a continent in which the vanquished stood to lose their way of life forever. This volume details the civilizations of the Sioux, the Cheyenne, the Apache, and of their implacable foe, the US Cavalry. It allows us to see their military techniques and arms, as well as the daily routines which made up their lives, providing an invaluable guide to the cultures and attitudes of those troubled times.Hook, Jason is the author of 'To Live & Die in the West The American Indian Wars', published 2000 under ISBN 9781841760186 and ISBN 1841760188.
