Outstanding!
For the American Civil War buff....this is THE book which details Lee's movements with his Army of Northern Virginia from the Rappahannock area to Gettysburg. The accounts of cavalry engagements at Aldie, Middleburg and Upperville, Virginia are absolute with accompanying maps being the best yet. Little has been written about Lee's movement to gather the needed "rations" Commissary General ...

Photographic Reference on Southern Plains Indian History
"Plains Indian Raiders" by Wilbut Nye is a good addition to your library if you are an American military history buff or one profoundly interested in the history of the Native Americans of the Southern Plains. Mr. Nye's accounts are rather dry and too anglo-centric for my taste, but I purchased this book primarily for the extraordinary collection of photographs by William S. Soule which comprise ...

Concise yet complete tour guide with great graphics
The editorial reviews on this paperback are right on the mark. It is an excellent 124-page booklet that follows the formal tour guide route. The front tour section starts by providing just the right amount of "selected" detail (with some well-cropped and selected photos)on each of the 16 stops (36 pages). I was able to take the book out and use it as a quick stop tour. I found the positons ...

He lived from the Stone Age to the Atomic Age!
A fascinating story of a "wild" Indian who made his way successfully through the various stages of his life: from the unfettered freedom of the mountains, to the tenuous search for refuge in a hostile environment, through the confinement of the reservation, to the peaceful contentment of Christian love. Jason tells the remarkable story of his life from 1860 to 1959 with self-effacing ...

Tales of the Kiowas told by the Kiowas
First person accounts of events and individuals, both important and ordinary, provide remarkable insight into the history of this most fascinating of all the Native American tribes of the South Plains. Colonel Nye does a good job of providing just enough explanatory comment, while leaving most of the story telling to the Kiowas themselves. If you were under the impression that the only Plains ...

A Solid Sense of History
Having lived in SW Oklahoma off and on for my entire life, I am fascinated with the history of the area. All those places I had visited so often I can now tie to events long before my time. Aside from solidifying my bonds to the region, COL Nye weaves an interesting and exciting tale of the Plains Indians and the rapidly growing USA. If your knowledge of frontier life comes from John Wayne ...
