Montana Battlefields 1806-1877

Montana's era of "Indian Wars" consisted of nearly a century of skirmishes, battles, and large-scale wars between the U.S. military and native nations. These nations included Blackfeet, Sioux, Northern Cheyennes, Arapahos, Gros Ventres, and Nez Perces-- and the army's Crow and Shoshone allies. The battlegrounds in this book remain today, a testament to the clash of cultures that defined the region in the 19th century.
