The year 1877 was a drought year in West Texas. That summer, some forty buffalo soldiers struck out into the Llano Estacado, pursuing a band of raiding Comanches. Several days later they were missing and presumed dead from thirst. Although most of the soldiers straggled back into camp, four died, and others faced court-martial for desertion. Here, Carlson provides insight into the interaction of soldiers, hunters, settlers, and Indians on the Staked Plains.

The “fascinating” #1 New York Times bestseller that awakened the world to the destruction of American Indians in the nineteenth-century West (The Wall Street Journal). First published in 1970, Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee generated shockwaves with its frank and heartbreaking depiction of the systematic annihilation of American Indian tribes across the western frontier. In this nonfiction account, Dee Brown focuses on the betrayals, battles, and massacres suffered by American Indians between 1860 and 1890. He tells of the many tribes and their renowned chiefs—from Geronimo to Red Cloud, Sitting Bull to Crazy Horse—who struggled to combat the destruction of their people and culture. Forcefully written and meticulously researched, Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee inspired a generation to take a second look at how the West was won. This ebook features an illustrated biography of Dee Brown including rare photos from the author’s personal collection.

Buffalo Soldiers is the story of Sergeant Major Augustus Sharps of the 10th Cavalry, one of the six African-American regiments authorized by Congress in July 1866. He and other former slaves had proven that they could fight valiantly for their freedom, but in the West they were to fight for the freedom and security of white settlers who often despised them. The Cheyennes thought the hair of this new kind of soldier resembled buffalo hides and so the men of the 9th and 10th Cavalry became known as "buffalo soldiers". Serving with General Custer, and scouts like "Buffalo Bill" Cody and "Wild Bill" Hickok, these exemplary soldiers endured lower pay and fewer privileges than their white counterparts, in addition to the other hardships of the frontier. The perseverance and devotion to duty of these troopers carried them through the bloody battles with the Mescalero Apache and the capture of Geronimo - and even to the charge up San Juan Hill in Cuba with Colonel Theodore Roosevelt and his Rough Riders. These men, and other volunteers with the Rough Riders, were the first African-Americans to serve on foreign soil.
