  With eighty men I could ride through the entire Sioux nation. The story of the Fetterman Fight, near Fort Phil Kearney in present-day Wyoming in 1866, is based entirely on this infamous declaration attributed to Capt. William J. Fetterman. Give Me Eighty Men challenges standard interpretations of this American myth.
