These battlegrounds remain today, a testament to the clash of cultures that defined the region in the nineteenth century.Author Barbara Fifer takes readers on a historic journey to the solemn sites of Montana's most fascinating and storied battles, from Two Medicine Creek to the Little Bighorn and on to the Sweetgrass Hills, revealing engaging tales - from fighters and witnesses on both sides.Indians of North AmericaMontanaWarsIndians of North AmericaGovernment relationsIndians of North AmericaMontanaHistory19th centuryUnited StatesPolitics and governmentUnited StatesHistory19th centuryUnited StatesRace relationsIndians of North AmericaWars.Indians of North AmericaGovernment relations.Indians of North AmericaHistory973.04/970786Fifer Barbara1236495BOOK9910157761203321Montana battlefields, 1806-18772876043UNINA
