Caxton Press has just released : Red was the Blood of Our Forefathers Episodes from Crow Indian Intertribal Warfare by Brian L. Keefe "At a Crow Indian gathering in 1992 in Montana, Brian Keefe, a visitor from England, met Joe Medicine Crow, one of the leaders of that tribe. Keefe returned many times in the years that followed to write down stories told to him by Joe Medicine Crow and other Crow historians. Because a man’s status in his tribe was based on deeds in combat, Crow history revolves around stories of intertribal warfare. During the 18th and 19th centuries, Sioux, Cheyenne, Blackfeet and Shoshoni applied constant pressure in attempts to take over Crow land in the Big Horn and Yellowstone regions of Montana and Wyoming. The conflict ranged from horse-stealing expeditions to battles where the losing group was “rubbed out.”" www.caxtonpress.com/store/redblood.html

Hi Jinlian Thanks for mentioning this. I will try to get a copy. Brian published The Battle of Rainy Butte through the English Westerners' Society. It is an account of the battle between the Crow and the Lakota at which Sitting Bull's father was killed. Here is a link to some details about the publication. Copies are still available. www.westernerspublications.ltd.uk/(follow: English Westerners' Society>Recent Publications>The Battle of Rainy Butte) Regards Gary
