Zustand: Gut. XVII, 453 S., 1 Bl. Inside slightly bronzy, very clean. By 1890, the fighting days of the Cheyenne Indians were over. The Cheyennes had at last surrendered to the overwhelming forces of the white man and had begun to accept their life on the reservations in Oklahoma and Montana. But the long struggle in which the Cheyennes had engaged - throughout the 19th century - to retain their tribal integrity, to remain true to their own exacting standards of human dignity, and at last, in the 70s and 80s, merely to survive, make up one of the great chapters in American history. (.) Without critical comment or biased judgement, G. B. Grinell . has recorded, with all the vigor of an inspired reporter and with the objectivity of a true scholar, the major 19th-century battles which the Cheyennes fought.
