Book Synopsis
No Indian chief tried harder than Black Kettle (1813 - 68) to achieve peace with whites, yet none was treated so treacherously. Unlike other chiefs, he recognized that the white man would ultimately dominate the territory of his tribe, and worked tirelessly to restrain his warriors and establish peace without bloodshed.
