Indian Wars of the West

This history looks at the American frontier over the course of several centuries, both describing the lands and the Native American tribes that lived on the lands, before diving into the 19th century's conflicts between the United States and the Native American tribes resisting the nation's westward expansion. What makes this book particularly interesting is that it was written by a contemporary of the wars, and thus it's possible to get a glimpse of the American mindset during the era.
