Traveler's Guide to the Great Sioux War
The Battlefields, Forts, and Related Sites of America's Greatest Indian War
by Paul L. Hedren
published by Montana Historical Society Press
- Waged over the glitter of Black Hills gold, the Sioux War of 1876-77 transformed the entire northern plains from Indian and buffalo country to the domain of miners, cattlemen, and other Euramerican settlers. Keyed to official highway maps, this richly illustrated guide leads the traveler to virtually every principal landmark associated with the war, from Fort Phil Kearny where the Sioux besieged soldiers sent to guard the Bozeman Trail in the 1860s to Fort Buford, the site of Sitting Bull's surrender in 1881.

Paul L. Hedren retired from the National Park Service in 2007 after a long career spanning assignments in Wyoming, Montana, Utah, North Dakota, and Nebraska. A lifelong student of the Great Sioux War and Black Hills gold rush, Hedren has traveled Sioux Country for more than four decades. He's written or edited seven books, including With Crook in the Black Hills (1985), a photo survey of Crook's soldiers passing through the 1876 Dakota gold rush country. Among several current projects, Hedren is completing a book exploring the dramatic changes that enveloped Sioux Country in the late 1870's and 1880's after the warfare ended. He resides in Omaha, Nebraska, where he writes full time. |
