Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

The Fighting Cheyennes is a historical book written by George Bird Grinnell, which tells the story of the Cheyenne people, a Native American tribe who lived in the Great Plains region of North America. The book is based on Grinnell's personal experiences and research, as he spent many years living among the Cheyenne people and learning about their culture, traditions, and history.The book covers a period of over 100 years, from the early 1800s to the late 1800s, and focuses on the Cheyenne's struggle to maintain their way of life in the face of increasing pressure from white settlers and the United States government. The book describes the Cheyenne's battles with other Native American tribes, as well as their conflicts with the US Army, which culminated in the famous Battle of the Little Bighorn in 1876.Throughout the book, Grinnell provides a detailed and nuanced portrayal of the Cheyenne people, their beliefs, and their customs. He also explores the impact of European colonization on the tribe, including the devastating effects of disease and forced relocation.Overall, The Fighting Cheyennes is a compelling and insightful account of one of America's most fascinating and important Native American tribes, and is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of the American West.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
