The Native American Experience

The Fetterman Massacre: A riveting account of events leading up to the Battle of the Hundred Slain-the devastating 1866 conflict at Wyoming's Ft. Phil Kearney that pitted Lakota, Arapaho, and Northern Cheyenne warriors-including Oglala chief Red Cloud, against the United States cavalry under the command of Captain William Fetterman. Based on a wealth of historical resources and sparked by Brown's narrative genius, this is an essential look at one of the frontier's defining conflicts. Creek Mary's Blood: This New York Times bestseller fictionalizes the true story of Mary Musgrove-born in 1700 to a Creek tribal chief-and five generations of her family. The sweeping narrative spans the Revolutionary War, the Trail of Tears, and the Civil War-in which Mary's descendants fought on both sides of the conflict.
