On The Border With Crook (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781163570074)

""On The Border With Crook"" is a first-hand account of the military campaigns and battles fought by General George Crook against the Apache and Sioux tribes in the late 1800s. The author, John G. Bourke, was a military aide and interpreter for General Crook, and his memoir offers a unique perspective on the conflicts between the United States government and the indigenous peoples of the American West. Bourke describes the harsh terrain and climate of the region, as well as the cultural and linguistic differences between the soldiers and the Native Americans. He provides detailed accounts of battles, including the infamous Battle of the Rosebud, and offers insights into the tactics and strategies employed by both sides. Throughout the book, Bourke also reflects on the impact of the conflict on both the soldiers and the Native Americans, and the challenges of maintaining peace and order in such a volatile and complex situation. ""On The Border With Crook"" is a valuable historical document that sheds light on a critical period in American history and the ongoing struggles between different cultures and worldviews.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
