Book description: New York: Random House. Very Good+. 1991. Softcover. 0679740031 . Xiv, 448 pages, 11 maps, pictorial wrappers, very good. From the publisher: "As most Americans of the 1860s fixed their attention on the battlefields of Shiloh and Manassas, another war raged on the largely unsettled Western frontier. This splendid work by the author of The Patriot Chiefs restores this 'other' Civil War to its true, epic proportions. With formidable scholarship and irresistible narrative ease, Alvin M. Joseph, Jr. , tells of the Yankee armada that foundered in the Louisiana bayous; of the blood fighting on the ridges and prairies of the border states, where a Cherokee guerrilla leader was the last Confederate general to surrender - two months after Appomattox; and of the U. S. Army's brutal campaigns against the Plains Indians in theaters as far apart as Minnesota and Colorado. " ; 448 pages .
