Fighting to defend their favorite buffalo hunting grounds following the Civil War, Lakota Chief Red Clouds coalition of Sioux, Northern Cheyennes, and Arapahos drove the military forces out of the Powder River country of modern-day Wyoming. On a bone-chilling day in December 1866, Captain William Fetterman led eighty men into the army's worst defeat at the hands of the Indians until Custer's Last Stand a decade later. Despite the turmoil of virtually constant Indian attacks at Fort Phil Kearny, a youthful paymaster clerk and a beautiful young schoolteacher fall in love. Their future is torn asunder when in the aftermath of the Fetterman Massacre the United States abandons the forts protecting the Bozeman Trail, closing the shortest route used by immigrants to reach Montana's goldfields. Red Clouds War was the only war the American Indians won fighting the U.S. Army" $c Provided by publisher. 650 $a Red Cloud's War, 1866-1867 650 $a Red Cloud, 1822-1909 650 $a Western fiction 650 $a Historical fiction 650 $a Large print books 650 $a Wyoming $x History 941 $a 12 952 $l GOPG641 $d 20240710063039.0 952 $l SMPE094 $d 20240104021617.0 952 $l RUPC135 $d 20231121012005.0 952 $l HLPC845 $d 20231010042244.0 952 $l DBPE173 $d 20230620010130.0 952 $l CQPE926 $d 20230614010259.0 952 $l ZBPE245 $d 20230526011611.0 952 $l HIPC765 $d 20230526010354.0 952 $l XXPH787 $d 20230503013455.0 952 $l HRPE845 $d 20230414010545.0 952 $l JBPC145 $d 20230331171959.0 952 $l EZPE755 $d 20230325010157.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=565F9992CAD211EDA0DB4A0F2CECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
