As recently as one hundred and ten years ago the Great Western Plains of the United States of America was the homeland of the nomadic Native American tribes: the Lakota, Cheyenne, Arapaho, Crow, Shoshone, Kiowa, Pawnee, Nez Perce and Comanche. Their traditional lands stretched from the Canadian border to the Texas panhandle. The years 1854-1890 marked the height of European-Native American confrontation. Battlefields, Monuments and Markers concerns itself with those years presenting to the reader over eighty sites in a series of modern photographs, a brief history of the events and a guide on how to find these places. 92 pages plus maps.
