A Good Year to Die: The Story of the Great Sioux War
by Charles M., III Robinson / Paperback / 1996
Booknews, Inc., March 1, 1996 "Much of this dramatic narrative of the federal government's final campaign to crush the Cheyenne and the Sioux is based on firsthand accounts of the participants, diaries and letters of soldiers, and the oral histories of many of the Indians who fought them. It focuses on the year 1876 and the battleground of the Black Hills overlapping South Dakota and Wyoming. By the time the campaign had ended the US had achieved its aims but the casualties were huge: Custer and his troops were massacred at the Little Bighorn; Gen. George Crook met with near-disaster at Rosebud; the Oglala Sioux chief Crazy Horse was dead. Meanwhile Sitting Bull and his band had been driven to Canada, and the military power of the Sioux and Northern Cheyenne was broken. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc.

Black Hawk: And the Warrior's Path (American Biographical History X)
by Roger L. Nichols / Paperback / 1992
Book Description: "The years between 1760 and 1840 witnessed the young United States' indefatigable expansion, even at the expense of the people already occupying the land. Roger Nichols's account of the life and times of Black Hawk, the great Sauk leader, provides an engaging way to study this tumultuous period in American history. From his teens until his midsixties, Black Hawk chose to follow the warrior's path, leading groups of Sauks against the Osages, Sioux and the Cherokees, as well as against white pioneers, state militiamen, and U.S. Army regulars. His final stand against the United States, in what became known as the Black Hawk War (1832), proved to be disastrous for his people and paved the way for a torrent of white settlement into the Old Northwest."
