Publisher's Synopsis

Three Sioux Scouts is a historical non-fiction book written by Elmer Russell Gregor. The book tells the story of three Sioux Native American scouts who served in the United States Army during the Indian Wars of the late 19th century. The scouts, Red Feather, Little Eagle, and Spotted Tail, were recruited by the army to help track down and capture other Native American tribes who were resisting the government's efforts to move them onto reservations.The book provides a detailed account of the scouts' experiences, including their training, their interactions with other soldiers, and their participation in several key battles. It also explores the complicated relationship between the scouts and their own people, as well as the broader historical context of the Indian Wars.Throughout the book, Gregor draws on a wide range of primary sources, including military records, personal letters, and interviews with descendants of the scouts. He also provides a nuanced and respectful portrayal of the Sioux culture and way of life, highlighting the scouts' deep connection to their land and their people.Overall, Three Sioux Scouts offers a compelling and informative look at a little-known aspect of American history, shedding light on the experiences of Native Americans who served in the military during a tumultuous and often violent period.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
