"This compelling narrative explains how Plains Indians found themselves time and again betrayed by the ever-expanding white nation of the East, fighting for lands on the edge of the shrinking frontier."

Ralph K. Andrist takes the reader on a journey from the Sioux Uprising of 1862 in Minnesota to the Battle of Wounded Knee at the end of 1890; covering a wide stretch of land from Minnesota to California, and provides an un-objective look into the end of the Indian Wars.
