The Indian Wars Of The West - Paperback - 9780548384381

The Indian Wars of the West is a comprehensive historical account of the conflicts between Native American tribes and the United States government in the western regions of the country. Written by Paul I. Wellman, the book covers the period from the early 1800s to the late 1800s, detailing the various battles, massacres, and negotiations that took place between the two sides. The book begins by providing an overview of the Native American tribes that inhabited the western territories, including the Sioux, Cheyenne, Comanche, and Apache. It then goes on to describe the various factors that led to the conflicts between these tribes and the United States government, including the westward expansion of settlers, the discovery of gold and other resources, and the government's policies of forced assimilation and relocation.Throughout the book, Wellman provides vivid descriptions of the major battles and skirmishes that occurred between the Native American tribes and the U.S. military, such as the Battle of Little Bighorn and the Sand Creek Massacre. He also explores the various diplomatic efforts that were made to resolve the conflicts, including the Treaty of Fort Laramie and the Dawes Act.In addition to recounting the military and political events of the Indian Wars, the book also delves into the cultural and social aspects of the conflict. Wellman examines the ways in which Native American culture and traditions were impacted by the wars, as well as the ways in which they adapted and resisted the forces of assimilation.Overall, The Indian Wars of the West provides a comprehensive and engaging account of one of the most significant and complex periods in American history. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of the American West, Native American history, or the history of U.S. military conflicts.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
