The Spirit Lake Massacre Thomas Teakle

The Shelf2Life History of the Great Plains Collection is an exceptional set of pre-1923 written works that focus on the vigorous people who lived, fought and traveled throughout the widespread plains of America and the events that changed their lives. From the fortuitous Louisiana Purchase to Theodore Roosevelt's fierce commitment to land preservation to the bloody battle at Little Bighorn River, these volumes provide historical insight into the significant, robust history of an often overlooked part of the country. Included in this collection are stories depicting bison tracking and cattle ranching, descriptions of leisurely canoe journeys down the mighty Mississippi and Native American myths relating to the significance of horses. The Shelf2Life History of the Great Plains Collection helps readers look past the windblown landscapes and seemingly infinite fields of corn to focus on the people that fought tirelessly throughout history for a piece of land to call home.
