Located on the most convenient east-west routes, Nebraska has been the scene of some of the most significant clashes in Western history. This work identifies, locates, and describes battles large and small fought on the soil of present-day Nebraska, highlighting clashes between the US Army and Plains Indians, and battles between Native tribes. Events in Part I, Major Battles and Campaigns, were chosen for the large size of the forces involved and the significance of the battle on later events. Engagements described in the next section have unique consequences or noteworthy or notorious participants, and have been well documented. The third section of the book details skirmishes, incidents, and other military events that are smaller in scale or part of a larger campaign, and are often relayed only through oral traditions. Historical and contemporary b&w photos and maps are included, and appendices provide excerpts from historical sources. Phillips is retired from the US military.
