Killing Crazy Horse: The Merciless Indian Wars in America

by Martin Dugard and Bill O'Reilly

Book Overview

The latest installment of the multimillion-selling Killing series is a gripping journey through the American West and the historic clashes between Native Americans and settlers.

The bloody Battle of Tippecanoe was only the beginning. It's 1811 and President James Madison has ordered the destruction of Shawnee warrior chief Tecumseh's alliance of tribes in the Great Lakes region. But while General William Henry Harrison would win this fight, the armed conflict between Native Americans and the newly formed United States would rage on for decades.

Bestselling authors Bill O'Reilly and Martin Dugard venture through the fraught history of our country's founding on already occupied lands, from General Andrew Jackson's brutal battles with the Creek Nation to President James Monroe's epic "sea to shining sea" policy, to President Martin Van Buren's cruel enforcement of a "treaty" that forced the Cherokee Nation out of their homelands along what would be called the Trail of Tears. O'Reilly and Dugard take readers behind the legends to reveal never-before-told historical moments in the fascinating creation story of America.

This fast-paced, wild ride through the American frontier will shock readers and impart unexpected lessons that reverberate to this day.

Customer Reviews

Well Worth Picking Up!

This is an area of history I was never very knowledgeable about, but O’Reilly and Dugard do an awesome job of not only telling a pretty long story in few words, but also in telling the story in a way that you feel like you’re reading a novel. Some of the details within were shocking, and some downright brutal, but it’s an important part of our nation’s story.

Another great book from the KILLING series
