WAR BETWEEN PAWNEE AND SIOUX (LAKOTA)

"First published in a New York journal in two series, 1844-45 and 1845-46, Prairie Logbooks describes two different military expeditions into barely explored territories of the West. The first expedition went deep into Nebraska Territory to put down warfare between the Pawnees and the Sioux (Lakota). The second was sent to escort emigrants on the Oregon Trail as far as Suth Pass and to reconnoitre the Santa Fe Trail, the key lane of commerce between Mexico and the United States. 295 pages cloth ISBN: 0803214227 paper BB845 ISBN: 0803263147 As with all University of Nebraska Press books this one aids in our understanding of a vanished time in a much changed land. Whether it is written history by historians or diaries and journals from primary sources a reader can be no better served than choosing a book from UNP. Semper Fi.
