Book Overview

Sheridan's Troopers On The Borders: A Winter Campaign On The Plains is a historical account written by Keim, De B. Randolph in 1885. The book documents the experiences of General Philip Sheridan's cavalry during their winter campaign on the Great Plains during the years 1868-1869. The campaign was aimed at subduing the Native American tribes in the region, including the Cheyenne and the Sioux, who were resisting the encroachment of white settlers on their lands. The author, who was a participant in the campaign, provides a detailed and vivid description of the harsh conditions faced by the troops, including extreme cold, snowstorms, and lack of supplies. He also describes the tactics used by the cavalry, including surprise attacks and ambushes, as well as the battles fought against the Native Americans. The book offers a unique perspective on the conflict between the US government and the Native American tribes during the late 19th century, and sheds light on the experiences of the soldiers who fought in these campaigns. It also provides insight into the military strategies employed by General Sheridan, who was a key figure in the Indian Wars.
