Media Reviews
This meticulously documented book . . . , based on Army records and firsthand reports, should stand as definitive. [It] is, by far, the best account yet of Fort Phil Kearny and the stirring events that took place. . . . A must for devotees of Western Americana. -Robert F. Hannon, St. Louis Post-Dispatch -- Robert F. Hannon * St. Louis Post-Dispatch *
For the first time we have the detailed story of all the little fights that preceded the major disaster. . . . It is one of the best studies that has been made of any sector of the Indian wars. -Don Russell, Chicago Sunday Tribune -- Don Russell * Chicago Sunday Tribune *
