R. Eli Paul shows instead that the events that precipitated General William Harney's attack on Chief Little Thunder's Brulé village foreshadowed the entire history of conflict between the United States and the Lakota people.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eToday Blue Water Creek is merely one of many modest streams coursing through Sioux country. The conflicts along its margins have been overshadowed by later, more spectacular confrontations, including the Great Sioux War and George Custer's untimely demise along another modest stream. The Blue Water legacy has gone largely underappreciated--until now. \u003ci\u003eBlue Water Creek and the First Sioux War, 1854-1856\u003c\/i\u003e provides a thorough and objective narrative, using a wealth of eyewitness accounts to reveal the significance of Blue Water Creek in Lakota and U.S. history.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 272\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.8 x 8.3 x 5.4 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e March 16, 2012\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51863043342624,"sku":"9780806142753","price":39.51,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/9764\/5344\/files\/1VEOruSiRa9780806142753.webp?v=1781637572","url":"https:\/\/ebocreations.com\/products\/blue-water-creek-and-the-first-sioux-war-1854-1856-volume-6-paperback","provider":"The E-Book Oasis LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
