{"product_id":"2940157765903","title":"MacKenzie's Last Fight with the Cheyennes (Expanded, Annotated)","description":"With the tension and excitement of a novelist, and the humor of a Mark Twain, soldier-scholar John G. Bourke wrote about one of the most important battles of the Great Sioux War, of which he was a participant.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eJohn Bourke's contribution to the history of the so-called Indian Wars cannot be overestimated. It is not as a soldier that he is best remembered, but as an anthropologist, ethnologist, folklorist, scientist, and writer--amazing for a man who was in uniform from the ages of 16 to 50.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHere he detailed Ranald MacKenzie's final fight with the Cheyenne under Dull Knife in the bitter cold of winter, 1876. These were some of the same warriors who had months earlier sent General George Armstrong Custer and five companies of 7th Cavalry troopers to an early grave at the Little Bighorn.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWritten as only Bourke could have done, this short account is a forgotten American classic.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFor the first time, this long out-of-print volume is available as an affordable, well-formatted book for e-readers and smartphones. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBe sure to LOOK INSIDE by clicking the cover above or download a sample.","brand":"Big Byte Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47115275665648,"sku":"2940157765903","price":2.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940157765903_p0.jpg?v=1764102506","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940157765903","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
