Book Review

Perilous Pursuit: The U. S. Cavalry and the Northern Cheyennes. By Stan Hoig. (Boulder: University Press of Colorado, 2002. ix + 292 pp. Illustrations, notes, bibliography, index. $34.95.)

After the decisive campaign of 1876–1877 on the Northern Plains, the army moved several hundred northern Cheyenne people to the Darlington Agency in Indian Territory. The Cheyenne did not want to go. Once there, they clearly expressed their unhappiness and then slipped away and headed back north. This book narrates in detail the flight of the Cheyenne, the army's attempts to stop them and return them to Darlington, and the impact of the trek on white civilians near the path of the fleeing people. 1

The story climaxes in northwestern Nebraska, after the Indians split into two groups. One band, under Little Wolf, eluded capture through the winter and completed the trek north. The other, under Dull Knife, was captured and imprisoned at Fort Robinson, from whence they escaped in the dead of winter only to make their last bloody stand on 22 January 1879. Hoig's narrative, his twentieth book, is the second recent study on this episode, following by one year John H. Monnett's Tell Them We Are Going Home: The Odyssey of the Northern Cheyennes (Norman, 2001). . . .
