Summary:
"Bestselling historian and Pulitzer-prize finalist H. W. Brands follows the lives and battles of General William Tecumseh
Sherman
and Apache warrior
Geronimo
to tell the story of the Indian Wars and the final fight for control of the American continent. William Tecumseh
Sherman
and
Geronimo
were keen strategists and bold soldiers, ruthless with their enemies. Over the course of the 1870s and 1880s these two
war
chiefs would confront each other in the final battle for what the American West would be: a sparsely settled, wild home where Indian tribes could thrive, or a more densely populated extension of the
America
to the east of the Mississippi.
Sherman
was a well-connected son of Ohio who attended West Point and rose to prominence through his scorched-earth campaigns in the Civil
War
.
Geronimo
grew up among the Apache people, hunting wild game for sustenance and roaming freely on the land. After the brutal killing of his wife, children and mother by Mexican soldiers, he became a relentless avenger, raiding Mexican settlements across the American border. When
Sherman
rose to commanding general of the Army, he was tasked with bringing
Geronimo
and his followers onto a reservation where they would live as farmers and ranchers and roam no more. But
Geronimo
preferred to fight."--From publisher.
