Books by Paul L. Hedren

In War-Path and Bivouac, John Finerty recalled his summer following George Crook's infamous campaign against the Sioux in 1876. Historians have long surmised that his correspondence covering the campaign for the Chicago Times reappeared in its entirety in his book. But that turns out not to be the case, as readers will discover in this volume.

Recounts the wintertime Big Horn Expedition and its singular great battle, along with the stories of the Northern Cheyennes and their elusive leader Old Bear. Historian Paul Hedren tracks both sides of the conflict through a rich array of primary source material.
