Wolves for the Blue Soldiers by Tom Dunlay, Paperback | Indigo Chapters

In the decades following the Civil War, the principal task facing the United States Army was that of subduing the hostile western Indians and removing them from the path of white settlement. Indian scouts and auxiliaries played a central role in the effort, participating in virtually every campaign. In this comprehensive account of the \"wolves\" (as scouts were designated in sign language), Thomas W. Dunlay describes how and why they served the army, how they were viewed by the military and their own tribes, and what wider implications their service held. | Wolves for the Blue Soldiers by Tom Dunlay, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
