Book Synopsis


Trade Review
Leiker and Powers have written a truly authoritative study of how the Northern Cheyenne trek home in 1878?1879 is remembered and revered today by both Cheyennes and descendants of the Kansas settlers who were in their wake. An excellent balance of narrative and interpretation, Indian and white viewpoints, this work extends the narrative story to memory and celebrations of the odyssey to modern times, filling an important gap in the literature. Extensively researched, handsomely written, and readable for anyone interested in western history."" - John Monnett author of Tell Them We Are Going Home: The Odyssey of the Northern Cheyennes

""An exceptionally well-written account of a well-known episode that sheds new light on that episode, and, more significantly, uses it to explore areas of special concern to historians today. Doing so, the authors do not sacrifice the power of the story itself, which is one of the more dramatic, touching, and disturbing of its time. . . . Excellent research and scholarship."" - Elliott West author of The Last Indian War: The Nez Perce Story
