Death Song - The Last Of The Indian Wars

In a poignant drama of heroism, treachery, and violence Weems eloquently recounts yet another chapter of US history: the closing decades of the 19th century, which marked the last of the Indian wars. Thrugh this narrative stride several prominent 19th century Americans - both white and Indian - whose lives were caught up in this blind clash of cultures. Among them are White Bear, the "orator of the Plains"; the famous Geronimo; Libbie Custer; John Bourke, a cavalry lieutenant sympathetic to his Indian foes; and Quanah Parker. B&W photo section.
