Product Description
The year 1540 was a crucial turning point in American history. The Great Indian Wars were incited by Francisco Vazquez de Coronado when his expedition to the Great Plains launched the inevitable 350 year struggle between the white man and the American Indians. From that point forward, the series of battles between the United States and the Native American Indians began where blood was shed and ultimately tens of thousands of lives were lost on both sides. The Battle of Tippecanoe, the Battle of Horseshoe Bend, all three Seminole Wars and the Battle of Little Big Horn were some of the most important conflicts that led up to the last massacre, the Battle of Wounded Knee, where America s landscape would be forever changed. This 3 DVD Set is filled with insightful bonus features including a comprehensive gallery of rare and never-before-seen photographs and maps, a unique interactive timeline highlighting pivotal events and biographies on notable Cavalry Officers and Indian Chiefs including Tecumseh, Colonel Custer, Black Kettle, Wild Bill Hickock, Crazy Horse, Kit Carson, Geronimo, Sitting Bull and many more! This is a unique and graphic examination of the 350 year struggle of the indigenous native American Indians.

The Great Indian Wars provides a vaste amount of information and facts,
with regard to this epic struggle for survival by the American Indians.
It would appear to tell an unbiased story about broken treaties and massacres committed by both sides,but mainly by the American army, which
carried out a policy of total war in many cases.
Ones sympathy goes out to the Indians,who were fighting a losing battle from the very start, to protect their home lands.
This is very compelling viewing and is to be recommended to all those who wish to know the facts behind this tragic episode in North American history.

I am giving 3 stars purely because I found the narrator on all dvds had a most irritating voice! I found this particular version of events to be biased toward the white Americans. Read more

Mumbling documentary
This is a fascinating slice of history rendered nearly unwatchable because of poor sound. The narration mumbles and bumbles along swallowing words and names in a manner that badly... Read more
