- Summary:
- In this unique survey Gregory F. Michno not only presents vivid accounts of 675 fights, he also sorts and analyzes the data to reveal patterns and draw conclusions, some of which challenge the current orthodoxy among historians. His investigation of the frequent conflicts and high body counts shows that the frontier's notoriety was indeed well deserved. Photographs and detailed maps accompany the text to pinpoint battle sites. In addition to the book's general index, two supplementary indexes allow readers to look up battles by state and by tribe. Contains 69 black-and-white photographs, 19 maps, 6 tables, notes, appendix, and bibliography.

- Includes bibliographical references (pages 394-410) and indexes.
