by Gregory F. Michno
"An illuminating portrayal of a violent era and a compelling examination of the machinations of frontier warfare."
🏹 MILITARY HISTORY | NATIVE AMERICAN STUDIES | FRONTIER WARFARE
A chronological masterwork documenting every significant engagement between Native American tribes, the U.S. Army, and civilians across four pivotal decades of Western expansion.
Extended Synopsis
Following years of exhaustive research, independent history scholar Gregory Michno presents the definitive chronological listing of the Indian Wars. This volume covers every significant fight between Indigenous nations and the United States Army, alongside well-known civilian engagements from 1850 to 1890. Michno does more than catalog dates and locations; he interprets the data to reveal hidden patterns and draw conclusions that challenge modern historical orthodoxy.
By examining the cold data of frontier combat, Michno provides a counter-narrative to several revisionist contentions regarding the "Wild West." Supplemented by numerous maps, rare photographs, and analytical tables, this study serves as both an indispensable reference tool and a narrative examination of the strategic and tactical realities of the era. It is a rigorous look at the violence that shaped the American West, designed for those who value empirical evidence and scholarly depth.
