About this ebook

Drawing from some fifty unique sources, author Paul L. Hedren has crafted a fascinating account of the experiences of enlisted soldiers engaged in the Great Sioux War. The story tells of tiresome campaigning, bad water, scarce firewood, mosquitoes, extreme cold and heat, fighting, burying comrades, and the drudgery and horror of it all. Drawn exclusively from original diaries, letters, and reminiscences penned by the campaigners themselves, this book offers a perspective of the Indian Wars otherwise unavailable to students of the period today. - First-hand accounts of Indian fighting - Rare memoirs and diaries - An insight into American attitudes towards their Indian foe
