Traveler's Guide to the Great Sioux War

by Paul Hedren

Overview

“The Great Sioux War was the most famous Indian war in American history but most of its sites have been known to only a few students of the conflict—until now! This invaluable guide, by one of the leading historians of the military frontier, is essential reading for anyone interested in this epic moment from our past.”
—Paul Andrew Hutton, author of Phil Sheridan and His Army, and editor of Soldiers West and The Custer Reader.

“Paul Hedren has succeeded in making the sites and geography of the Great Sioux War come alive. This book is a must for the serious scholar, avocational traveler, or just plain history junkie.”
—Jerome A. Greene, author of Nez Perce Summer, 1877 and Yellowstone Command: Colonel Nelson A. Miles and the Great Sioux War
