Book Review

Washita: The U.S. Army and the Southern Cheyennes, 1867–1869. By Jerome A. Greene. (Norman: University of Oklahoma Press, 2004. xii, 292 pp. $29.95, ISBN 0-8061-3551-4.)

National Park Regional Historian Jerome A. Greene has written an exceptionally balanced history of the Washita campaign between the Southern Cheyennes and the U.S. Army during the late 1860s. The book is based on the author's work on the processes leading to the establishment of the Washita Battlefield National Historic Site in Oklahoma. Essentially, the Washita campaign broke the fighting abilities of Southern Cheyennes below the Arkansas but failed to inflict damage on the militant Dog Soldier Warrior society whose raids into Kansas in 1867 and 1868 provoked the famous winter campaign and Lt. Col. George A. Custer's most important victory on the Plains. The Dog Soldiers' raids would continue until the battle of Summit Springs in 1869.
