Poverty Bill, SASS# 45790 Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 Howdy, have a nice book for sale. "The Buffalo War" by James L. Haley The history of the Red River uprising of 1874, the final campaign of the white man versus the Souther Plains Indians. Illustrated with 32 pages of rare photographs. "Here is the first complete history of the long forgotten Buffalo War of 1874 - fought between the United states Goverment and warriors of the Cheyenne, Comanche, and Kiowa Indian tribes of the South Plains. At the time of its completion, General Phil Sheridan called it the most successful Indian campaign ever waged - and many of its incidents have become frontier legends. But until now, the whole extraoridinary episode has never been chronicled in full, in all its intricate and amazing detail. James Haley has carefully analyzed the causes of indian unrest centering around the great buffalo slaughter by white hunters from the north that threatened to destroy forever the whole foundation of Indian life. He describes the competing factions - within the Indian tribes, within the U.S. Army, and within the government bureaucracy - which shaped the course of events. And he outlines the battle strategies and engagements the made the Buffalo War such a curious blend of savagery, heroics, accidents, and confusion - on both sides of the fight. Mr. Haley's extensive research draws heavily on contemporary letters and reports, and his many new findings overturn a number of myths and predjudices which have grown up around the Rde River uprising over the past one hunfred years. The result is an exciting, authentic narrative filled with colorful events and personalities of a crucial time in the history of the American frontier. Included are fifty eight rare photographs of the Indian leaders, Buffalo hunters, Army officers, and Indian agents who each played a part in the story of Buffalo War." copyright 1976 first edition stated 6" x 8 1/2" tall 290 pages book is in very good+ condition dust jacket is good with some shelf wear $20.00 shipped to you (media rate) in the U.S.A.
