About This Book

The account traces military and agency operations on the northern Plains during the 1870s, focusing on relocation of an Indian agency, strained relations between agents and Sioux factions, and mounting incidents of theft, ambush, and murder that prompted Army intervention. It details political maneuvering among chiefs, problems administering annuity goods, episodic violence around supplies, and the role of a nearby fort as a staging point. The narrative culminates in a tense confrontation at the post in which Crazy Horse is restrained, struggles when confronted with confinement, and is fatally wounded during the effort to incarcerate him.
