In the spring and summer of 1876, American newspaper readers breathlessly awaited news from the front line of the Sioux War. With the nation's huge Centennial celebration underway, civilians were shocked at the devastating humiliation delivered by Crazy Horse and Sitting Bull to General George Armstrong Custer at the Battle of the Little Big Horn.How did the news get to American homes? Robert Strahorn was one of the west's most noted journalists. This book contains his dispatches from the field as he rode (and fought) with General George Crook's Wyoming column. First into the field, Crook's men struck a Sioux village in March and then retired.On June 17, just eight days before the disaster at the Little Bighorn, Crook was attacked on Rosebud Creek by the same warriors that would later defeat Custer. Strahorn was there for all of it.In addition to descriptions of battles and scouts, Strahorn wrote of the humor and boredom of camp life, as well as describing many of the participants he met.Every memoir of the American West provides us with another view of the westward expansion that changed the country forever.
