The Earth is Weeping: The Epic Story of the Indian Wars for the American West
Peter Cozzens
Finalist for the Gilder-Lehrman Military History Prize
Bringing together a pageant of fascinating characters including Custer, Sherman, Grant, & a host of other military & political figures, as well as great native leaders such as Crazy Horse, Sitting Bull, Geronimo, & Red Cloud, The Earth is Weeping—lauded by Booklist as “a beautifully written work of understanding & compassion”—is the fullest account to date of how the West was won…and lost.
"[S]ets a new standard for Western Indian Wars history..." — Stuart Rosebrook, True West Magazine
With the end of the Civil War, the nation recommenced its expansion onto traditional Indian tribal lands, setting off a wide-ranging conflict that would last more than three decades. In an exploration of the wars & negotiations that destroyed tribal ways of life even as they made possible the emergence of the modern United States, Peter Cozzens gives us both sides in comprehensive & singularly intimate detail. He illuminates the encroachment experienced by the tribes & the tribal conflicts over whether to fight or make peace, & explores the squalid lives of soldiers posted to the frontier & the ethical quandaries faced by generals who often sympathized with their native enemies.
