The Fetterman Massacre: Fort Phil Kearny and the Battle of the Hundred Slain

Dee Brownâ€™s authoritative history of Fort Phil Kearney and the notorious Fetterman Massacre

This dark, unflinching, and fascinating book is Dee Brownâ€™s riveting account of events leading up to the Battle of the Hundred Slainâ€”the devastating 1866 conflict that pitted Lakota, Arapaho, and Northern Cheyenne warriors, including Oglala chief Red Cloud, against the United States cavalry under the command of Captain William Fetterman. Providing a vivid backdrop to the battle, Brown offers a portrait of Wyomingâ€™s Ft. Phil Kearney and the remarkable men who built and defended it. Based on a wealth of historical sources and sparked by Brownâ€™s narrative genius, The Fetterman Massacre is an essential look at one of the frontierâ€™s defining conflicts.
