Description: This book chronicles more than three hundred lesser-known but significant conflicts of the western Indian Wars. It describes not only skirmishes between Indians and the United States Army, but also Indian raids on civilian settlers and travelers. Instead of focusing on the larger battles, the authors bring into sharper focus the small-scale confrontations that defined the Indian Wars. This book gives readers and researchers enlightening glimpses into the unpredictable lives of the immigrants, homesteaders, soldiers, and Indians of the American frontier.
Notes: Includes bibliographical references and index.
