Forgotten Fights: Little-known Raids and Skirmishes on the Frontier, 1823 to 1890

In this unique study, Gregory and Susan Michno chronicle more
than three hundred lesser-known but signifi cant confl icts of the
western Indian Wars, describing not only skirmishes between Indians
and the United States Army, but also Indian raids on civilian
settlers and travelers. By shifting attention away from the larger
and more famous battles, the authors bring into sharper focus the
small-scale confrontations that defined the Indian Wars.

Forgotten Fights presents vivid accounts of these rarely examined
confl icts, giving readers and researchers enlightening glimpses into the unpredictable lives of the
immigrants, homesteaders, soldiers,
and Indians of the American frontier. An excellent reference book in its own right, it also serves as a supplement to Gregory F. Michno s Encyclopedia of Indian Wars: western Battles and Skirmishes, 1850 1890 (Mountain Press, 2003). Historical and modern photographs enhance the text, while detailed maps pinpoint battle sites.
