The Great Sioux War of 1876-77 began at daybreak on March 17, 1876, when Colonel Joseph J. Reynolds and six cavalry companies struck a village of Northern Cheyennes - Sioux allies - thereby propelling the Northern Plains tribes into war. The ensuing last stand of the Sioux against Anglo-American settlement of their homeland spanned some 18 months, playing out across more than 20 battle and skirmish sites and costing hundreds of lives on both sides and many millions of dollars. And it all began at Powder River.

Awesome book! I’ll recommend this book to anyone willing to take the plunge into the history of the northern plains and that extraordinary period of time. Hedren’s book isn’t for those who merely want to gloss over the subject, it is full of many amazing details and thorough research. I almost felt like I was on that fateful campaign alongside Crook and Reynolds. Awake for days, dealing with subzero temperatures, living off of half rations of old bacon and hard tack. All while tracking down a group of people determined to continue their way of life on a landscape they knew far better than their white enemies.
