Book Synopsis Life of George Bent by : George E. Hyde
Download or read book Life of George Bent written by George E. Hyde and published by University of Oklahoma Press. This book was released on 2015-01-13 with total page 433 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: George Bent, the son of William Bent, one of the founders of Bent's Fort on the Arkansas near present La Junta, Colorado, and Owl Woman, a Cheyenne, began exchanging letters in 1905 with George E. Hyde of Omaha concerning life at the fort, his experiences with his Cheyenne kinsmen, and the events which finally led to the military suppression of the Indians on the southern Great Plains. This correspondence, which continued to the eve of Bent's death in 1918, is the source of the narrative here published, the narrator being Bent himself. Almost ninety years have elapsed since the day in 1930 when Mr. Hyde found it impossible to market the finished manuscript of the Bent life down to 1866. (The Depression had set in some months before.) He accordingly sold that portion of the manuscript to the Denver Public Library, retaining his working copy, which carries down to 1875. The account therefore embraces the most stirring period, not only of Bent's own life, but of life on the Plains and into the Rockies. It has never before been published. It is not often that an eyewitness of great events in the West tells his own story. But Bent's narrative, aside from the extent of its chronology (1826 to 1875), has very special significance as an inside view of Cheyenne life and action after the Sand Creek Massacre of 1864, which cost so many of the lives of Bent's friends and relatives. It is hardly probable that we shall achieve a more authentic view of what happened, as the Cheyennes, Arapahos, and Sioux saw it.
Book Synopsis Circle of Fire by : John Dishon McDermott
Download or read book Circle of Fire written by John Dishon McDermott and published by Stackpole Books. This book was released on 2003 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The year 1865 was bloody on the Plains as various Indian tribes, including the Southern Cheyenne and the Southern Sioux, joined with their northern relatives to wage war on the white man. They sought revenge for the 1864 massacre at Sand Creek, when John Chivington and his Colorado volunteers nearly wiped out a village of Southern Cheyenne and Arapaho. The violence in eastern Colorado spread westward to Fort Laramie and Fort Caspar in southeastern and central Wyoming, and then moved north to the lands along the Wyoming-Montana border.
Book Synopsis Lost Forts of Casper by : Johanna Wickman
Download or read book Lost Forts of Casper written by Johanna Wickman and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2016-06-20 with total page 115 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Three army outposts built before and during the Civil War protected critical routes along the western trails at the North Platte River near what later became Casper. All had been abandoned by 1867, and their dramatic stories are mostly forgotten. The Post at Platte Bridge was a vital outpost on Albert Sidney Johnston's Utah War supply route. Camp Dodge and Platte Bridge Station, also called Fort Caspar, guarded telegraph lines from Native American sabotage. Violent winds, horrendous blizzards and scorching summers made life miserable. Tension reached a fever pitch at the Battle of Platte Bridge when Sioux, Cheyenne and Arapaho attacked a cavalry detachment led by Caspar Collins. Today, a reconstructed Fort Caspar stands as a vigilant reminder of the struggles at those lonely frontier stations. Local historian Johanna Wickman chronicles military efforts to keep the peace, wage war and merely survive.
Download or read book Indian Fights written by J. W. Vaughn and published by University of Oklahoma Press. This book was released on 2002 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Indian Fights, J. W. Vaughn gives detailed accounts of the battles, careful descriptions of the battlefields, and interesting asides on the U.S. Army officers and soldiers serving in the West during and after the Civil War. Using a metal detector, Vaughn uncovered cartridge cases, bullets, and other debris marking battle situations, allowing him to reconstruct many little-known battles in detail. He analyzed a number of engagements that occurred around Cheyenne Fork, Wyoming, a popular camping place on the old Bozeman Trail, comparing his findings with the mass of conflicting testimonies, government records, newspaper accounts, and other sources covering the battles. New light is shed on the Fetterman disaster, partly absolving Brevet Lieutenant Colonel William H. Fetterman of the blame many historians have placed on him for disobeying orders. Vaughn also discusses a mostly forgotten engagement near Fort C. F. Smith, battles near Fort Laramie, the Rosebud campaign, and the aftermath of the defeat of General George Armstrong Custer at the Battle of the Little Bighorn.

Book Synopsis Locating the Custard Wagon Fight by : James Brown
Download or read book Locating the Custard Wagon Fight written by James Brown and published by . This book was released on 2022 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The authors and their associates performed investigations in 2018 at a swale within the area near the west city line of Casper, WY that is generally thought to include the location of the Battle of Red Buttes. Artifacts, interpretations of historical records and indications by historical human remains detection dogs indicated that the swale was likely important in the Battle of Red Buttes. Following the Battle of Platte Bridge Station on the morning of July 26, 1865, an inbound empty supply train of four wagons escorted by 25 men under the command of Sergeant Amos Custard, 11th Kansas Volunteer Cavalry, crested a rise approximately four miles west southwest of the Station. Congregated on bluffs above the Station, a large force of Native Americans immediately spotted the wagons and dashed westward to intercept them. The ensuing fight has come to be known as the "Battle of Red Buttes," though far removed from the Red Buttes topographic feature. Three of the five men in Custard's advance party escaped the attack, the other two having fallen by the wayside. The remaining 20, fighting from barricaded wagons, managed to hold out for three to four hours. There were no survivors. On July 29 a burial party from Platte Bridge Station placed the 20 bodies in a shallow trench, covered them with pieces of rubberized canvas, and filled the trench with sand (Hubbard, J.M., 1907, p. 45 and Pennock, J., 1951, p. 21)."--Introduction, page 2.

Book excerpt: Hervey Johnson's letters offer a fascinating first-person account of the critical Indian War years on the high plains of eastern Wyoming during which a confederation of Sioux, Cheyenne, and Arapaho Indians successfully defended their Powder River buffalo range. Stationed at Fort Laramie, Deer Creek, Sweetwater, and the Platte Bridge, this young Quaker volunteer -- who joined up to avoid fighting in the Civil War -- experienced events firsthand while he and his companions of the Eleventh Ohio Volunteer Cavalry guarded the newly strung transcontinental telegraph and protected thousands of emigrants on their way to Utah, California, and Oregon.

It is also the only land battle in which Japanese and American forces fought in Arctic conditions. The more than two-week battle ended when most of the Japanese defenders were killed in brutal hand-to-hand combat after a final banzai charge broke through American lines.
