Product Description

Product Description

The Fetterman Massacre occurred on December 21, 1866, at Fort Phil Kearny, a small outpost in the foothills of the Big Horns. The second battle in American history from which came no survivors, it became a cause celebre and was the subject of a congressional investigation. Although the story has been treated many times in fiction and articles, 'this meticulously documented book ..., based on Army records and firsthand reports, should stand as definitive. [It] is, by far, the best account yet of Fort Phil Kearny and the stirring events that took place...A must for devotees of Western Americana' - Robert F. Hannon, "St. Louis Post-Dispatch".'For the first time we have the detailed story of all the little fights that preceded the major disaster...It is one of the best studies that has been made of any sector of the Indian wars' - Don Russell, "Chicago Sunday Tribune". Dee Brown is the author of several novels in addition to his nonfiction books, which include "Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee", "The Gentle Tamers: Women of the Old Wild West", and "The Galvanized Yankees".

5.0 out of 5 stars If you want to learn about western history, start here., 22 Aug 1999
By A Customer
This book finishes with incredible events that were set up at the beginning. It shows that this fight is where all the western stories in Hollywood originated; and is a real page turner as the Indians increase their activities. It will leave you impressed, both by the history you have finally learned, and the hardships endured by all parties involved. This is western history at its best.

4.0 out of 5 stars Drags at start,but mid-book,a pageturner., 12 Dec 1997
By A Customer
I found Dee Brown's book on this military history to drag a bit at the start,but by the middle of the book I was pulled in by the intensity and detail of his research. A vivid and brutal account of the way of the west in the mid-19th century. From the cunning stealth and strength of the leader Red Cloud,to the meticuliousness and orderly fashion of Colonel Henry Carrington, who through him and sub-ordinates(Fetterman) misdecisions,led to an combined victory of Sioux,Cheyenne,and Arapaho. Dee Brown's detail and account of this pre-cursor event to Custer,should be read by every sincere western historian.
