Smith reexamines the works of the two Mrs. Carringtons in the context of contemporary evidence. No longer seen as an arrogant firebrand, Fetterman emerges as an outstanding officer who respected the Plains Indians' superiority in numbers, weaponry, and battle skills. Give Me Eighty Men both challenges standard interpretations of this American myth and shows the powerful influence of female writers in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. 410 0$aWomen in the West. 606 $aFetterman Fight, Wyo., 1866 606 $aArmy spouses$zWyoming$vCorrespondence 607 $aFort Phil Kearny (Wyo.)$xHistory, Military 607 $aFort Phil Kearny (Wyo.)$xHistory$vSources 615 0$aFetterman Fight, Wyo., 1866. 615 0$aArmy spouses 676 $a973.8/1 700 $aSmith$b Shannon D.$f1958-$01567749 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910778225803321 996 $aGive me eighty men$93839378 997 $aUNINA
