Media Reviews

Masterfully written. . . . A superbly constructed book. . . . This book remains one of the best written narratives of its genre.
This book is an excellent synthesis of Indian-white relations in the trans-Mississippi West during the last half-century of the frontier period, a welcome study that departs from the soldier-chases-Indian approach that is all too typical of other books on the topic.
Utley puts events in context and this context will help readers understand the conflicts that stretched from the Civil War to the settling of the West. The Indian Frontier will give any reader a good overview of the happenings in the West between 1846-1890.
