The American Indian Wars
Introduction
“Come on, you Wolverines!”
The story of the American Indian Wars of 1862-68 is an enthralling tale of hubris, politics, recklessness, and the merciless assault of industrialisation and modernity on an old world, nearly extinguished. An immense tragedy; it is also a story of great adventure, with formidable heroes and villains on both sides. No two figures encapsulate this better than the enigmatic, strategict Lakota war leader, Crazy Horse, and his foil, cavalry commander for the U.S. government, George A. Custer. Custer’s daring, panache, and egotism has immortalised him in the annals of American history. From the bloody battles of the American Civil War and the snake-pit of Reconstruction politics, to his ruthless campaigns against the Native American and First Nation peoples of the Great Plains., Custer’s life and his ensuing, mysterious demise is a thrilling mix of heroics, brutality, madness and gore.
Join Dominic and Tom as they delve into the thrilling tale of the American Indian Wars.
