Book excerpt: "Campaigning with Crook" (Originally published in 1890 by Charles King [1844-1933]) consists of a narrative, of General Crook's campaign against the Sioux in the Big Horn and Yellowstone country, in Wyoming and Dakota, in 1876. This was immediately after the massacre of Custer and his force on the Little Big Horn.Captain King's hand in fiction we know well. His true first-hand description of actual events is here proved to be equally clever; no narrative of frontier life, of cavalry march and bivouac, and Indian skirmish and battle, with which we are familiar, surpasses this in most of the elements of direct, strong, vivid, telling narration. The very country spreads before the reader - the great rolling ranges of mountains, the striking "buttes " or peaks of all manner of weird and grotesque shapes, the winding river courses marked by the cottonwoods, the sheltered, grassy valleys, the pools of stagnant alkali water, the thickets and tufts of sage brush, the sudden, impetuous sweep of prairie fire, the thick clouds of dust rising from the tramp of many hoofs, the flickering light of camp fires, the feverish haste of the alarm, the exciting scenes on the picket line, the reconnaissance, the attack - of all these and other kindred matters Captain King makes a truly artistic picture, and there is enough of dramatic incident and figuring to lend a strong human interest to the landscape.The Custer disaster took place on the 26th of June, 1876. The expedition to which Captain King was attached, under Generals Carr and Merritt, left Fort Hays in Western Kansas, two hundred miles to the south of the Little Big Horn, in the same month. It marched to the north to reinforce Crook and Terry, and to take part in the general movement against the Indians of that year. A period of three or four months is covered by this story - it is more readable than fiction; and after famished marches and sharp skirmishes, the campaign comes to a close in the Black Hills. There have been few more thrilling episodes in our army records than the race for rations which marked the close of this campaign, when Crook's columns, harassed by Indians in the rear, hungry and empty-handed, with horses starving and men emaciated, were pushing southward from the Little Missouri, through Western Dakota, to Deadwood in the Black Hills. Buffalo Bill is one of the characters on this expedition, not in theatrical disguise, but in sober earnest as a veritable scout. A still more interesting personage is his ''pardner," "Buffalo Chips," or James White, of whom Captain King says: "He never drank, I never heard him swear, and no man ever heard him lie." In these respects " Buffalo Chips "must have stood out, up, and apart from his kind like a "butte " from a prairie.

Book excerpt: In one of the classic works by a participant in the American Indian Wars, Charles King writes of his time in the command of General George Crook in 1876. After the disaster at the Little Bighorn and the death of George A. Custer, King's 5th Cavalry was sent to reinforce Crook's column to continue the pursuit of the Sioux and Cheyenne.Crook had already been attacked by forces led by Crazy Horse on June 17, 1876, just eight days before Custer's defeat at the Little Bighorn. King relates the ongoing campaign that lasted throughout the summer and into the fall. All of the great figures of the time and place are mentioned here and it's another valuable addition to the literature of the period.Every memoir of the American West provides us with another view of the struggles that changed the country forever.

Excerpt: ... the man and the commander turns to me with, " Well, what did I tell you?" And so we got our orders for the Sioux campaign of 1876. To the officers, of course, it was an old story. There was not one of our number who had not seen hard campaigning and sharp Indian lighting before. But could we have had our choice, we would have preferred some less abrupt announcement. Hardly a word was spoken as the group broke up and the ladies sought their respective homes, but the bowed heads and hidden faces of many betrayed the force of the blow. The officers remained with General Carr to receive his instructions. There was no time to lose, and the note of preparation sounded on the spot. General Sheridan's orders directed four companies from Fort Hays to proceed at once to Cheyenne by rail, and there await the coming of the more distant companies --eight in all, to go on this, the first alarm. Companies "A," "B," "D," and "K" were designated to go; "E " to stay and " take care of the shop." Those to go were commanded by married officers, each of whom had to leave wife and family in garrison. "E" had a bachelor captain, and a lieutenant whose better half was away in the East, so the ladies of the regiment were ready to mob the general for his selection; but there was wisdom in it. In ten minutes the news was all over the post. A wild Celtic "Hurray, fellows, we're going for to join Crook," was heard in the barracks, answered by shouts of approval and delight from every Paddy in the command. Ours is a mixed array of nationalities--Mulligan and Meiswinkel, Crapaud and John Bull, stand shoulder to shoulder with Yanks from every portion of the country. In four regiments only is exclusiveness as to race permitted by law. Only darkies can join their ranks....

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Campaigning With Crook and Stories of Army Life Ten years ago, at the request of the editor of a paper at my old home, these sketches of the Sioux Campaign of 1876 were written and, finding favor with comrades to whom a few were sent, were published in pamphlet form. Now, reinforced by certain other sketches which have since appeared, they are given a new framework. They were the first-fruits, so to speak, of a pen that has since been seldom idle. They were rough sketches, to be sure, but no rougher than the campaign; and in the early days of a divorce from associations that were very dear, and of a return to surroundings once familiar, yet, after twenty years of absence, so changed that a cat in a strange garret could hardly have felt less at home, I laid their faint tribute of respect and honor at the feet of the soldier who had been our commander in the wild days in Arizona, our leader from the Platte to the Yellowstone and our comrade in every hardship and privation - Brigadier-General George Crook, United States Army.
