War Path and Bivouac : Or, the Conquest of the Sioux (New ed)

"War-Path and Bivouac" is a stirring and detailed account of the Dakota Indian wars of 1876 and the Nez Perce Indian wars of 1877.

John F. Finerty, a newspaper reporter with the "Chicago Times", covered the action of George Crook's campaign against the Sioux and Northern Cheyenne Indians and Nelson Miles's campaign against the Nez Perce.

Instead of hanging back, Finerty took a place with the column in the thick of battle, earning himself the respect of the soldiers.

His courage under fire, his energy in getting the story, and his clear, swinging prose make "War-Path and Bivouac" one of the most accurate and readable of the contemporary accounts of the Indian wars.
