Numerous Indian tribes were forced into singular areas. There was insufficient land and food for the many different tribes. Inevitably the Indian tribes became more hostile and fought against one another. All of them continued with the traditional hostility to the white man regarding his advance as dispossession and his methods of life as obnoxious. Their quest for gold in California, development of agriculture and mining brought the white man into contact with the Indians producing constant clashes of the two races. This book tells the story of these bloody wars under the lead of Sitting Bull and includes a full account of the famous Messiah Craze and Ghost Dances.
