1-194600 Burke, Robert F. WITH CUSTER AT THE DEATH The fascination with Custer's Last Stand hasn't diminished in the decades since 1876. He led his regiment well ahead of the main body, only to run into an unprecedented gathering of Indians. The first accounts were pieced together by other soldiers arriving on the scene in the battle's aftermath, and by archaeologists in the generations since. To that information was added the reminiscences of the Indians who fought there.

2-194680 Hedren, Paul GREAT SIOUX WAR ORDERS OF BATTLE: How the United States Army Waged War on the Nothern Plains, 1876-1877 The Great Sioux War played out on 27 different battlefields scattered across five states. Extensive documentation demonstrates that the American army adapted quickly to the challenges of fighting this unconventional war and was more effectively led and better equipped than is customarily believed. While it lost at Powder River and at the Little Big Horn, it did not lose the Great Sioux War.

Considers concepts of doctrine, training, culture, and materiel to aid understanding of the army's structure and disposition. Examines 28 Great Sioux War deployments in chronological order, including documentation of command structures, formations, and companies employed. Addresses how an otherwise sound American army was defeated in two battles and nearly lost a third. Also features seven helpful appendices, a glossary, and an oversized map showing forts, encampments, and battle sites. 1 vol, 240 pgs 2012 US, UNIVERSITY OF OKLAHOMA PRESS

2-39140 Jamieson, Perry D. CROSSING THE DEADLY GROUND: US Army Tactics 1865-99 The first manual to emphasize on both offense and defense using small-unit tactics, b/w illust, maps, biblio, index.

Jamieson, et al. have done a very good job of trying to come to grips with the one of the hottest topics in military history - the way that armies in the late 19th Century attempted to cope with technological innovation and newer, more destructive weapons. Additionally they cover that most peculiarly American of all military campaigns, the Indian Wars, with an intelligence and incisiveness not seen anywhere else - forget about the glorious charges of the Saturday matinee! Sometimes, this book relies too heavily on letting the factual material speak for itself instead of analysis.

Overall, it is a welcome addition to the growing literature on the revolution in military affairs which was taking place at the time, and it serves as a reminder at our own 'fin de siecle', about the continuing need for new ideas in military tactics. 1 vol, 248 pgs 2004 TUSCALOOSA, UNIV ALABAMA

1-240740 Langellier, John P. MORE WORK THAN GLORY: Buffalo Soldiers in the United States Army, 1865-1916 Views the broader perspectives of race against the backdrop of the transition of the U.S. Army from a frontier constabulary to an international power. In the process, he highlights the staggering assortment of non-military missions including assignments to national parks and forests; road building; exploration; pioneer military bicycling; duty along the border between the United States and Mexico; employment as agents of law and order, and a litany of other contributions against formidable Native Americans and others.

Frames the narrative within the context of continuity and change from Reconstruction in the 1860s through the early twentieth century. Above all, focuses on the soldiers themselves to provide a human perspective as well as challenges prevalent misconceptions that often overshadow more fascinating facts.

Custer's Best: The Story of Company M, 7th Cavalry at the Little Bighorn This is the story of George Custer's best cavalry company at the 1876 Battle of the Little Bighorn - Company M. With a tragically flawed, but extremely brave Company Commander and a no-nonsense First Sergeant, Company M maintained a disciplined withdrawal from the skirmish line fighting, saving Major Marcus Reno's entire detachment and possibly the rest of the regiment from annihilation. Presented here is the most-detailed work on a single company at the Little Bighorn ever written -- the product of multi-year research at archives across the country and detailed visits to the battlefield by a combat veteran who understands fields of fire, weapons' effects, training, morale, decision-making, unit cohesion and the value of outstanding non-commissioned officers. 1 vol, 272 pgs 2011 ATGLEN, SCHIFFER BOOKS

1-196200 Michno, Gregory DAKOTA DAWN: The Decisive First Week of the Sioux Uprising, August 1862 The 1862 Dakota conflict, which encompassed perhaps the greatest massacre of whites by Indians in American history, is filled with emotional drama, irony, tragedy, cowardice, and heroism. The drama engulfed thousands of people and the dimension of individual experiences can be overwhelming. Previous attempts to sort out the stories and place the events in a coherent chronological and geographical order have been unsuccessful. Award-winning author Gregory F. Michno's Dakota Dawn: The Decisive First Week of the Sioux Uprising, August 1862 provides the uprising with an essential clarity and life that readers will find refreshing and invigorating.

Michno's Dakota Dawn focuses in great detail on one week in August 1862, a great paroxysm of destruction when the Dakota succeeded, albeit fleetingly, in driving out the white man. Some 600 white settlers were killed in the Sioux Uprising, the great majority innocent victims slaughtered in the most shocking manner. Nowhere else in the West was there a record of such sustained attacks on a fort (Ridgely) or a town (New Ulm).

In addition to important secondary studies, Michno's work is based upon 2,000 pages of primary sources including recollections, original records, diaries, newspaper accounts, and other archival records. One seldom-used resource is the Indian Depredation Claim files. After the Uprising, settlers filed nearly 3,000 claims for damages in which they itemized losses and set forth their experiences. These priceless documents paint firsthand slices of the life of a frontier people, their cabins, tools, clothes, crops, animals, and cherished possessions. Many of these claims have never been incorporated into a book, allowing Michno to more fully expound on various episodes and correct previous misconceptions.

Long overdue, Dakota Dawn examines the decisive first week of the Sioux Uprising systematically, clearly, and definitively. Its purpose is not to prove or disprove any particular point. Innocence and guilt is found in quantity on both sides-honor, treachery, kindness, and iniquity not being the provenance of any one people. 16 illustrations and 8 maps. 1 vol, 456 pgs 2011 US, SAVAS BEATIE

1-239070 Wallace, W.A. THE BATTLE OF THE LITTLE BIG HORN: A New Appraisal Lt. Col. George Armstrong Custer died at the hands of native Americans by the banks of the Little Big Horn in Montana 25th June 1876. This is an established undisputed fact. What is disputed is the real reason that he died. So forget all you have been indoctrinated to believe and begin to learn the truth. George Custer was an anathema to his superiors, but the populace loved him. If he were to stand for president in the coming elections there was a strong possibility that he would win. Neither William T. Sherman nor Phil Sheridan could allow that to happen. Thus they conspired to put Custer in a position in the field where the opposing Sioux and Cheyenne were stronger and could deliver the Coup de Gras.

The first of two volumes to deal with the circumstances that arose leading the native Americans on a collision course with the US Army that fateful day and the death of a national hero. Subsequently the conspiracy is uncovered and shows how these men used their powers and positions and so deftly covered their tracks. Perhaps, but not quite. 1 vol, 280 pgs 2023 UK, PEN & SWORD

1-219600 Watt, Robert N HORSES WORN TO MERE SHADOWS: The Victorio Campaign 1880 This study commences with Victorio's return to New Mexico in January 1880. The US army's January to February campaign illustrates the operational decoy strategy employed by Victorio to protect his own logistic support whilst simultaneously undermining that of his opponents. Includes 109 black and white photos, 25 color maps, 2 black and white sketches, 29 tables, and 8 figures.

The Hembrillo Canyon operation in April 1880 saw the largest battle of the Victorio Campaign. By the end of May 1880, Victorio's warriors have rendered the Ninth Cavalry unfit for field service. This was achieved through the Apache strategy of directly and indirectly targeting the US army's horses and mules. Yet the Apaches also suffer their first major defeat of the campaign at the end of May. After regrouping and engaging in widespread raiding in northern Mexico, Victorio engaged the Tenth Cavalry in Western Texas during July-August 1880.

Failing to break through that regiment's defenses he retreated back into Mexico. This allowed the US army in New Mexico to rest and recover. By September 1880, the US army had negotiated a cross border operation of questionable legality. Known as the Buell Expedition, the aim was to coordinate with Mexican state troops to destroy the Apaches. This volume will end with Mexican state troops, led by Colonel Joaquin Terrazas', inflicting a major defeat upon the Apaches at Tres Castillos.

It will be argued that the setbacks in Western Texas and at Tres Castillos demonstrate the employment of strategies and tactics by the Apaches which came very close to succeeding. 1 vol, 500 pgs 2019 UK, HELION AND COMPANY

1-221770 Watt, Robert N WITH MY FACE TO MY BITTER FOES: Nana's War 1880-1881 The third volume takes up the story of the continued Apache struggle for the return of their Ojo Caliente reservation after Victorio's death at Tres Castillos. Led by Nana, the surviving Chihenne Apaches regrouped and, despite their losses, decided to continue the fight. Includes 50 b/w photos, 10 color maps, 27 tables, and 5 figures.

In January 1881, these Apaches launched several attacks in southern New Mexico but, for the moment, avoided direct confrontation with the US army, choosing to evade their pursuers. Having returned to northern Mexico, Nana returned to New Mexico in July and August to lead one of the legendary raids of the Apache wars between 1860 and 1886.

While this event deserves legendary status, the numbers of US troops deployed against the Apaches has been exaggerated. Moreover, the numerical advantage of the actual numbers of US troops deployed was usually offset by the scope and knowledge of the terrain traversed by the Apaches. Most importantly, this was the last time that Apaches would attempt to maintain their independent way of life within the USA. 1 vol, 376 pgs 2019 UK, HELION AND COMPANY

1-18390 Wormser, Richard THE YELLOWLEGS: Story of the US Cavalry Reprint of a 1966 publication.

The story of America's cavalry is extraordinarily rich in colorful, and often flamboyant, personalities and exciting action. Indeed, much of the early military history of the United States is dominated by the exploits of its horse-soldiers. In this comprehensive and lively account, the author - who was himself an enthusiastic horseman - narrates the major events and characters of the US Cavalry's formative, and, some might say fruitful, years.

From the American Revolution and the exploits of men such as Henry 'Light-Horse Harry' Lee III and Francis Marion, the first of the guerrillas, the author follows on with Stephen Kearny, the 'Father of the Cavalry' whose Dragoons went West to California on mules, and his nephew Philip, who organized the famed Gray Horse Troop of the Mexican War.Other famous names that feature in this narrative are those of Jonathan 'Stonewall' Jackson, George Crook, who admired the Indians it was his duty to hunt down, and George Armstrong Custer.

A United States Army officer and cavalry commander who served with distinction in the American Civil War, Custer is most commonly remembered for leading more than 200 of his men to their deaths in the Battle of the Little Bighorn in June 1876. Also known as 'Custer's Last Stand', Bighorn was part of the Black Hills War against a confederation of Plains Indians, including the Cheyenne and Dakota Sioux. It remains one of the most controversial battles in American history.Roosevelt's Roughriders and Black Jack Pershing, who led his troops in an automobile, complete the narrative - one which is undoubtedly a saga of daring raids, of epic marches, and of grueling battles. 1 vol, 464 pgs 2019 UK, FRONTLINE BOOKS
