Description

In the decades following the Civil War, the principal task facing the USA Army used to be that of subduing the hostile western Indians and casting off them from the trail of white settlement. Indian scouts and auxiliaries played a central role within the effort, participating in virtually each and every campaign. On 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 army and their very own tribes, and what wider implications their service held.
