In an exploration of the wars and negotiations that destroyed tribal ways of life even as they made possible the emergence of the modern United States, Peter Cozzens gives us both sides in comprehensive and singularly intimate detail. He illuminates the encroachment experienced by the tribes and the tribal conflicts over whether to fight or make peace, and explores the squalid lives of soldiers posted to the frontier and the ethical quandaries faced by generals who often sympathized with their native enemies. As the action moves from Kansas and Nebraska to the Southwestern desert to the Dakotas and the Pacific Northwest, we encounter a pageant of fascinating characters including Custer, Sherman, Grant, and a host of other military and political figures, as well as great native leaders such as Crazy Horse, Sitting Bull, Geronimo, and Red Cloud. For the first time The Earth Is Weeping brings them all together in the fullest account to date of how the West was won. 538 $a Mode of access: World Wide Web. 650 0 $a Indians of North America $x Wars $y 1866-1895. 651 0 $a West (U.S.) $x History $y 1860-1890. 700 1 $a Pruden, John. 710 2 $a hoopla digital. 856 40 $u https://www.hoopladigital.com/title/11738994 $z Instantly available on hoopla. 856 42 $z Cover image $u https://d2snwnmzyr8jue.cloudfront.net/rcb_9781681682471_180.jpeg 941 $a 1 952 $l GFPE771 $d 20171128013708.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=1BF23B3AD40A11E797AD6B4797128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
