Trail to Wounded Knee: The Last Stand of the Plains Indians, 1860-1890: The Plains Indians stand forth, proud, strong, and resourceful, the very image of the American West. Yet in one of the most painful ironies of our history, their ancient culture was decimated in a single generation, through three decades of bitter warfare, chronicled in this powerful book.

Between the end of the Civil War and the final conquest of the frontier, U.S. Army soldiers and Indians collided again and again, in the Sand Creek Massacre, the Battle of the Washita, the Battle of the Little Bighorn, and in other fierce chases, retreats, and clashes, culminating in the devastating massacre of Big Foot's village at Wounded Knee in December 1890.
