description: "A keen observer, [Dr. Coates] recorded critical events of the so-called ‘Hancock’s War’ with the Southern Plains tribes. His vignettes of key personalities are especially enlightening. Kennedy’s commentary and annotation fill out a story that adds greatly to the literature of the Plains Indian frontier of the 1860s. —Robert M. Utley
