The Fighting Cheyennes
Book •
Originally compiled by George Bird Grinnell and incorporating the reminiscences of George Bent, 'The Fighting Cheyennes' offers detailed narratives of Cheyenne society, battles, and interactions with Euro-American forces.
The book draws on Bent's firsthand experiences to illuminate Cheyenne perspectives during mid-19th-century conflicts.
Grinnell's work contextualizes those accounts within broader scholarship on Plains tribes and frontier encounters.
Together, the material provides a rich source for understanding the social structures, warfare, and diplomacy of the Cheyenne.
It remains a frequently cited source in studies of Plains Indian history and events like the Sand Creek Massacre.
