Red Cloud’s War The Bozeman Trail, 1866–1868 (2 Vols.) By John D. McDermott $75.00s Cloth • 978-0-87062-376-9 • 704 Pages On a cold December day in 1866, Captain William J. Fetterman disobeyed orders and spurred his men across Lodge Trail Ridge in pursuit of a group of retreating Lakota Sioux, Arapahos, and Cheyennes. He saw a perfect opportunity to punish the tribes for harassing travelers on the Bozeman Trail and attacking wood trains sent out from nearby Fort Phil Kearny. In a sudden turn of events, his command was, within moments, annihilated. John D. McDermott’s spellbinding narrative offers a cautionary tale of hubris and miscalculation.
