Description: With the end of the Civil War, the nation recommenced its ì expansion onto traditional Indian tribal lands, setting off a ì wide-ranging conflict that would last more than three decades. In ì an exploration of the wars and negotiations that destroyed tribal ì ways of life even as they made possible the emergence of the ì modern United States, Peter Cozzens gives us both sides in ì comprehensive and singularly intimate detail. He illuminates the ì encroachment experienced by the tribes and the tribal conflicts ì over whether to fight or make peace, and explores the squalid ì lives of soldiers posted to the frontier and the ethical ì quandaries faced by generals who often sympathized with their ì native enemies.
