The Fetterman Massacre occurred on December 21, 1866, at Fort Phil Kearny, a small outpost in the foothills of the Big Horns. The second battle in American history from which came no survivors, it became a cause celebre and was the subject of a congressional investigation. Although the story has been treated many times in fiction and articles, 'this meticulously documented book ..., based on Army records and firsthand reports, should stand as definitive. [It] is, by far, the best account yet of Fort Phil Kearny and the stirring events that took place...A must for devotees of Western Americana' - Robert F. Hannon, "St. Louis Post-Dispatch".'For the first time we have the detailed story of all the little fights that preceded the major disaster...It is one of the best studies that has been made of any sector of the Indian wars' - Don Russell, "Chicago Sunday Tribune". Dee Brown is the author of several novels in addition to his nonfiction books, which include "Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee", "The Gentle Tamers: Women of the Old Wild West", and "The Galvanized Yankees".
