Northwestern Fights and Fighters

Cyrus Townsend Brady, an 1883 graduate of the US Naval Academy, went to the west to seek adventure and prosperity. Instead he initiated a series of works which highlighted his gift for brisk exciting narratives about the Old West. This work presents several rare, first person, revealing accounts of soldiers and Indian Chiefs, all veterans of the Nez Perce and Modoc wars. Brady also revisits and re-examines the history of the engagement at the Little Big Horn, the subject of his previous work, "Indian Fights and Fighters."
