  • Between the Mountains and the Plains: The Jicarilla Apache Story

    by Daniel R. Whitlock ...
    A Jicarilla camp kept two kinds of house. In the valleys below the Sangre de Cristo the people lived in brush wickiups, low domes of willow poles covered with bark, grass and hide. When scouts brought word that the bison were gathering out east, the wickiups were left behind and the tipis came out of their bundles. People who carried both sets of poles knew that the year had two halves, and that ... Read more

  • Mescalero Apache: Sierra Blanca and the Reservation Wars

    by Daniel R. Whitlock ...
    Sierra Blanca, the White Mountain, rises to nearly twelve thousand feet above southern New Mexico, and for the Mescalero it held everything. In late May the women climbed its eastern face before sunrise to cut the heavy hearts of the mescal, the plant that gave the people their Spanish name, and roasted them in pits while the grandchildren hauled the harvest down in hide sacks. From the mountain ... Read more

  • Smallpox on the Missouri: The Mandan, Hidatsa, and Arikara

    by Daniel R. Whitlock ...
    Seen from the ridge, a Mandan town on the upper Missouri hardly looked like a town. Forty or fifty earth lodges, each roofed with a foot of packed soil, lay along the terrace like a herd of great animals resting in the wind, and below them women with hoes made from bison shoulder blades tended corn, beans, squash and sunflowers. For centuries the towns of the Mandan, Hidatsa and Arikara had been a ... Read more

  • The Cheyenne Wars: Dog Soldiers, Roman Nose, and the Central Plains

    by Daniel R. Whitlock ...
    How did a people who gathered wild rice from canoes in the lake country of Minnesota become the horsemen who fought the United States Army across the central plains? The Tsitsistas, the Cheyenne, remember it not as one departure but as a slow drift west, a generation at a time: to river villages and cornfields on the Missouri, to horses traded north from the Spanish settlements, to the buffalo, ...

  • The Tonquin's Wake: Astor's Fur Empire and the Nations of the Lower Columbia

    by Daniel R. Whitlock ...
    The canoes left the beach on the ebb, twelve boats and then fifteen, with no sound but the soft tap of blade on gunwale. Behind them cedar smoke rose from the plank houses, and above the tide line split salmon darkened on the drying racks. The lower Columbia ran four miles wide here, a drowned country of islands and sloughs, and to the Chinookan towns along its banks it was "a house with many ... Read more

  • Comanche Rising: The Horse Lords of the Southern Plains, 1830-1875

    by Daniel R. Whitlock ...
    In 1830 the Comanche controlled a domain larger than France - a horse-powered empire stretching from the Arkansas River to the Rio Grande, built on mustangs, bison, and trade. For forty-five years they held it against Mexico, the Republic of Texas, and the United States Army. This is the story of that empire and its unraveling, told through the men and women who lived it: Quanah Parker, son of a ... Read more

  • Blood and Oil: The Osage Reign of Terror, 1921-1931

    by Daniel R. Whitlock ...
    Every Osage citizen on the tribal roll held a share of whatever lay beneath the reservation, and that share could not be sold. It could only be inherited. The Osage had insisted on it when their land was divided into allotments: the surface could be parceled out, but the rock under their hills in the Arkansas River country, dismissed by federal surveyors as broken ground unfit for farming, would ...

  • The Great Sioux War: Sitting Bull, Crazy Horse, and the Winter That Ended the Plains

    by Daniel R. Whitlock ...
    In December 1875, Washington set a deadline. Every Lakota band still living beyond the agencies, out in the unceded hunting grounds, was to report in by January 31, 1876, or be treated as hostile. In the depth of a northern plains winter the order was barely delivered and never obeyed. The country at stake lay between the rivers, the Powder, the Tongue, the Rosebud and the Little Bighorn: some of ... Read more

  • The Ghost Dance and the Road to Wounded Knee: 1876-1890

    by Daniel R. Whitlock ...
    On June 26, 1876, the morning after the Greasy Grass, the women were still cutting up the dead horses while the great Lakota and Cheyenne camp broke apart around them, family by family, travois by travois. Custer's five companies lay on the ridge. The victory had been total. It changed nothing about the coming winter, and Sitting Bull knew it: the soldiers would return, and this time they would ...

  • The Dakota War of 1862

    by Daniel R. Whitlock ...
    Every morning in July 1862, a Dakota woman walked past the empty flour barrels behind the agency warehouse on the Minnesota River and turned her head to look, as though they might have filled overnight. They never did. The annuities the United States owed her people for the land they had ceded in 1851 had been due in June. They were not lost. The pork and flour sat crated in St. Paul and the money ... Read more
