“The Indians, severely punished, and driven from their village, took refuge in the mountain thus unguarded, and from that time forward, aside from the destruction of their property, had a positive advantage over the troops. Scattered all over this almost impregnable mountain-side, and secreted behind its numerous walls of rock, they could pick off our men.”
Greene’s volume offers accounts of the many battles and skirmishes in the Great Sioux War as they were observed by participating officers, enlisted men, scouts, surgeons, and newspaper correspondents.
