Book Synopsis
The Fetterman Fight ranks among the most crushing defeats suffered by the US Army in the nineteenth-century West. With no survivors on the US side, the only eyewitness accounts of the battle came from Lakota and Cheyenne participants. In this volume, John Monnett presents these Native views.

Trade Review
John Monnett has assembled an astute selection of Lakota and Northern Cheyenne reminiscences of the Fetterman Fight in 1866, when tribesmen lured a contingent of nearly eighty soldiers to their deaths along the Bozeman Trail in north-central Wyoming. With new and incisive commentary, Monnett provides a welcome and moving chronicle."" - Jerome A. Greene, author of American Carnage: Wounded Knee, 1890
