new book by Peter Cozzens, best-selling author of the American Civil War, provides readers with a sweeping panorama of the Indian Wars in the Great Plains and Rocky Mountains, the longest and most bitter series of battles in American history. As a result of fierce and bloody battles, the indigenous people of the country were deprived of their lands. Based on the testimonies of participants and archival documents, Cozzens creates vivid portraits of representatives of the warring parties, without idealizing or denigrating any of them. This amazing documentary saga allows you to look at the tragic history of the Indians from two sides - through the eyes of the participants in the fierce battle for the vast expanses of North America.
