"What should a man do when the army sends him to help kill his wife's family? Bill Rowland married into the Northern Cheyenne Tribe in 1850, eventually becoming the primary interpreter in their negotiations with the U.S. government. On November 25,1876, five months to the day after Custer died at the Little Bighorn, Bill found himself riding into the tribe's main winter camp with over a thousand U.S. troops bent on destroying it. The Cheyenne Sweet Medicine Chief, Little Wolf, had been to the white man's cities. He knew how many waited there to come behind the soldiers who were out seeking revenge for their great loss. He also knew that the hot-blooded Kit Fox leader, Last Bull, emboldened by their recent victory and convinced he could defeat them all, posed a dangerous threat from within. Pulled from the dark historical shadow of Custer, Crazy Horse, and the Lakota, The Cheyenne Story vividly brings to life the little known events that led to the end of the Plains Indian War"--Back cover.… (més)

Splendid historical fiction of the aftermath of Custer's Last Stand and what happened to the Northern Cheyenne tribes in the next couple years. Well documenting the lives of real Indians and the affect of the US annihilation efforts. How they used various tribes against each other to achieve their goals and the affects of constant lies and promises made by the "Great White Father" which were broken as fast as "treaties" were signed.
