Download or read book With Crook at the Rosebud written by J. W. Vaughn and published by Stackpole Books. This book was released on 2017-12-01 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Crook always maintained that, since his command occupied the field after the battle, he was not defeated at the Rosebud, and that if the battle had gone according to his orders, it would have resulted in a real triumph for his men. This view was also held by his superiors, although they called it a ‘barren victory.’ His part in the campaign was to form a junction with the other advancing columns, combining with them in returning the infractious Sioux to their reservations. His immediate purpose was to find and destroy the village of Crazy Horse. He accomplished none of these objectives. Instead he retired from the scene, permitting the forces of Crazy Horse to concentrate their strength against the troops to the north.” From With Crook at the Rosebud The 1868 Treaty of Fort Laramie gave the Sioux and Cheyenne Indian tribes control over a wide region, covering Montana, Wyoming, Nebraska, and part of the Dakotas. But in the 1870s gold was discovered in the Black Hills, and white settlers invaded Indian territory in desperate search for the precious mineral. Clashes between miners and Indians erupted. After trying other means of settling the disputes, the U.S. government decreed that all Indians in the northwest should be living on reservations by January 1876. The Sioux and the Cheyenne refused to obey, so the Bureau of Indian Affairs called in the military to enforce the order. Brigadier General George Crook led the Big Horn and Yellowstone Expeditionary forces into southern Montana against rebellious Sioux. But Crazy Horse, leading a party of Sioux and Cheyenne, defeated a portion of Crooks command at Powder River in March 1876. In his chagrin and determination for revenge, Crook led his troops to the Rosebud canyon to destroy Crazy Horse’s village. The two powerful forces, each numbering more than one thousand men, met at the Rosebud River on June 17. At the end of the fierce, day-long battle, Crook returned to his base nearly forty miles away, convinced that he had won. Time would prove, however, that the battle resulted in a stalemate. Crook’s force was removed from the larger campaign and he was unable to come to Custer’s aid at the Little Big Horn eight days later. Though the Battle of the Rosebud had a significant impact on the rest of the campaign against the Sioux, it has often been eclipsed by publicity surrounding the Battle of the Little Big Horn. It was not until 1956, when With Crook at the Rosebud was first published by Stackpole, that the first clear history of the battle emerged.

Book excerpt: Lady Efrona Drake dreaded the upcoming house party hosted by her parents. Her fathers announcement that Lord Blakely Hansford, the marquess of Sudeley, would be in attendance caused a feeling of fear and loathing to curl in her stomach. Efrona realized her time had finally run out and her parents plans to end her six-year betrothal to the insufferable future Duke of Warwick would soon result in an unwanted and miserable marriage. Oh, Lord Blake was handsome enough, gorgeous even, but Efrona detested his pompous strutting and arrogant womanizing and total disregard for anything beyond his many mistresses and absolute life of leisure. But the young man standing so still and composed in her fathers study was not at all the marquess she remembered, and rather than inviting those familiar feelings of disdain and disgust, Efrona felt her heart race and senses tingle when in his presence. What could have wrought such a change in the man? Was he merely toying with her and concealing his true nature with some twisted agenda in mind? Plagued with the constant and uncanny sensation of danger, the marquess of Sudeley fought his growing attraction for the Lady Efrona. What had he gotten himself into? He was an impostor, and he was playing with fire. But after a second attempt on his life, the marquess realizes he must do all he can to keep Efrona safe even if it means exposure and with it, the sure knowledge that he will never be able to call her his own.
