A One-Armed General During the Indian Wars (Abridged, Annotated)

This is a rare book of keen observation, respect, and in some instances even affection for Native Americans of his time. General Oliver O. Howard commanded Union forces in the American Civil War and lost his right arm at the Battle of Fair Oaks in 1862. After recovery, he continued in important commands, including the Army of the Tennessee. He fought at the Battle of Gettysburg in 1863.

After the war, he commanded troops on the frontier during the conflicts with Native Americans. He accepted the surrender of the famous chief Joseph, and led campaigns and negotiations with an astonishing number of the western tribes. No student of the Indian Wars in the United States should miss reading this book.

For the first time, this long out-of-print volume is available as an affordable, well-formatted book for e-readers and smartphones.
