Tribal Wars of the Southern Plains (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780806142012)

Tribal Wars of the Southern Plains is a comprehensive account of Indian conflicts in the area between the Platte River and the Rio Grande, from the first written reports of the Spaniards in the sixteenth century through the United States-Cheyenne Battle of the Sand Hills in 1875. The reader follows the exploits and defeats of such chiefs as Lone Wolf, Satanta, Black Kettle, and Dull Knife as they signed treaties, led attacks, battled for land, and defended their villages in the huge region that was home to the Wichitas, Comanches, Cheyennes, Arapahos, Kiowas, Osages, Pawnees, and other Indian nations. Stan Hoig was Professor of Journalism at the University of Central Oklahoma and the author of many books on American Indians and the American West, including The Sand Creek Massacre and the award-winning Peace Chiefs of the Cheyenne.
