註釋

In one of the classic works by a participant in the American Indian Wars, Charles King writes of his time in the command of General George Crook in 1876. After the disaster at the Little Bighorn and the death of George A. Custer, King's 5th Cavalry was sent to reinforce Crook's column to continue the pursuit of the Sioux and Cheyenne.Crook had already been attacked by forces led by Crazy Horse on June 17, 1876, just eight days before Custer's defeat at the Little Bighorn. King relates the ongoing campaign that lasted throughout the summer and into the fall. All of the great figures of the time and place are mentioned here and it's another valuable addition to the literature of the period.Every memoir of the American West provides us with another view of the struggles that changed the country forever.
