THE INDIAN WAR OF 1864

One of the basic source books of western history, this exciting and authentic account of an officer's experiences on the plains in the Indian Wars of 1864-1865 was first published in a limited edition in 1911, after the author's death. Long available only in the rare book rooms of libraries, it is here reprinted in its entirety with a foreword and notes by Clyde C. Walton. In its way a companion volume to Grinnell's Fighting Cheyennes as one of the two contemporary sources (although the Grinnell defends the Indian point of view, while this is the soldier's), it remains a minor classic and is now available again, at a reasonable price as well.
