5.0 out of 5 stars Fascinating account of the Plains Wars, 25 Aug 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: Scalp Dance: Indian Warfare on the High Plains, 1865-1879 (Hardcover)
This book is the best ever written on the Indian wars, and it shows the great stupidity of the idea that between the Civil War and Spanish-American War American soldiers were at peace. Nothing could have been further from the truth. "Scalp Dance" shows the gory, harrowing battles waged by handfuls of ill-equipped soldiers against some of the most barbaric opponents America has ever faced. Usually outnumbered and sometimes even despised by some of their own countrymen, these troops were the men who made the settling of the West a fact. Until now, their story and their sacrifices have been largely forgotten thanks to mountains of PC rhetoric. Now "Scalp Dance" has rectified that. Those who loved the movie "Dances With Wolves" should read this book of FACTUAL accounts of the Plains Wars for a no-holds-barred history lesson. "Scalp Dance" is bloody, suspenseful book that is all the more relevant because it's actual history.

4.0 out of 5 stars The Indian wars from the participiants view, 24 Aug 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: Scalp Dance: Indian Warfare on the High Plains, 1865-1879 (Hardcover)
Tells the story of the indian fighting the decade after the Civil War. Much from letters and diaries. Gives some insights in the fighting but no analyzis, no tactics nor a good discussing summary. But you get the feeling of being at the "frontier".

4.0 out of 5 stars Ripping good yarn!, 8 Aug 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: Scalp Dance: Indian Warfare on the High Plains, 1865-1879 (Hardcover)
Its a shame that this book tells such a terrible story as its such a well written account of a terrible period of America's history. I found it a very interesting account of Indian warfare on the high plains after the Civil War. The author used first-hand accounts of the fighting and style of warfare used by both sides. The only fault that I could find with this book that there were not many similiar accounts from the 'other' side. Overall an excellent read which makes you realise how lucky we are sometimes and what other people had to endure back in those days.
