( San Francisco Chronicle ) is the fullest account to date of how the West was won?and lost. After the Civil War the Indian Wars would last more than three decades, permanently altering the physical and political landscape of America. Peter Cozzens gives us both sides in comprehensive and singularly intimate detail. He illuminates the intertribal strife over whether to fight or make peace; explores the dreary, squalid lives of frontier soldiers and the imperatives of the Indian warrior culture; and describes the ethical quandaries faced by generals who often sympathized with their native enemies. In dramatically relating bloody and tragic events as varied as Wounded Knee, the Nez Perce War, the Sierra Madre campaign, and the Battle of the Little Bighorn, we encounter a pageant of fascinating characters, including Custer, Sherman, Grant, and a host of officers, soldiers, and Indian agents, as well as great native leaders such as Crazy Horse, Sitting Bull, Geronimo, and Red Cloud and the warriors they led. The Earth Is Weeping is a sweeping, definitive history of the battles and negotiations that destroyed the Indian way of life even as they paved the way for the emergence of the United States we know today. 606 $aNonfiction$2OverDrive 606 $aHistory$2OverDrive 606 $aMilitary$2OverDrive 607 $aWest (U.S.)$xHistory$y1860-1890 615 17$aNonfiction. 615 7$aHistory. 615 7$aMilitary. 676 $a978/.02 686 $aHIS027110$aHIS028000$aHIS036040$2bisacsh 700 $aCozzens$b Peter$0759717 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910136696003321 996 $aThe Earth Is Weeping$92593611 997 $aUNINA
