The Cheyenne Story: An Interpretation of Courage

Más información sobre el libro

What should a man do when the army sends him to help kill his wife's family? Bill Rowland married into the Northern Cheyenne Tribe in 1850, eventually becoming the primary interpreter in their negotiations with the U.S. government. On November 25, 1876, Bill found himself obligated to ride into the tribe's main winter camp with over a thousand U.S. troops bent on destroying it. Pulled from the dark historical shadow of Custer, Crazy Horse, and the Lakota, The Cheyenne Story vividly brings to life the little known events that led to the end of the Plains Indian War and the beginning of the Cheyenne's exodus from the only home and lifestyle they had ever known. -- adapted from cover
