With horses stolen from the Spanish frontier settlements (not \"strays\" found on the prairies), the Indian tribes were transformed and revitalized. Horses made them more mobile, enlarged their capacity as hunters, and made them awesome foes in warfare. Northward from Mexico, the horse spread through the Plains and mountains, reaching central Saskatchewan 150 years later. The Cheyennes gloried in war, and the Comanches and Blackfeet became some of the most splendid horsemen the world has ever known. The Crows were the \"horse traders\" of the Plains.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis carefully documented account brings to life the hardy Indian pony-possessing almost unbelievable speed and endurance that allowed its rider to run down the fastest buffalo or leave his cavalrymen pursuers far behind. It is the story of American Indians and their relationship to the animals that broadened their horizons, and a historical record of one of the most turbulent and fascinating eras of American frontier history.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA classic chronicle, The Indian and the Horse contains many superb illustrations from rare photographs and from paintings and drawings by George Catlin, Alfred Jacob Miller, Charles Wimar, Rudolph Friederich Kurz, Frederic Remington, Charles M.

This study of Benjamin Bickerstaff and other Northeast Texans provides a microhistory of the larger whole. Bickerstaff founded Ku Klux Klan groups in at least two Northeast Texas counties and led a gang of raiders who, at times, numbered up to 500 men. He joined the ranks of guerrilla fighters like Cullen Baker and Bob Lee and, with their gangs often riding together, brought chaos and death to the “Devil’s Triangle,” the Northeast Texas region where they created one disaster after another. “This book provides a well-researched, exhaustive, and fascinating examination of the life of Benjamin Bickerstaff, a desperado who preyed on blacks, Unionists, and others in northeastern Texas during the Reconstruction era until armed citizens killed him in the town of Alvarado in 1869. The work adds to our knowledge of Reconstruction violence and graphically supports the idea that the Civil War in Texas did not really end in 1865 but continued long afterward.”—Carl Moneyhon, author of Texas after the Civil War: The Struggle of Reconstruction JAMES M.

For example, he relates how a large number of the gunfighters used guns as tools of their trades, legitimate and otherwise—lawmen and detectives, buffalo hunters, army scouts, thieves, hired killers, and the like. Of the gunfighters included here 108 served as law officers at some time in their careers. The average lifespan, including those who died of natural causes, was forty-seven years, and more than 50 percent of the gunmen died from gunshot wounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eEncyclopedia of Western Gunfighters \u003c\/em\u003eoffers a unique compilation of information ab\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"University of Oklahoma Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52691342655855,"sku":"9780806123356","price":172.14,"currency_code":"BRL","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0921\/9384\/9711\/files\/0806123354.jpg?v=1771537201"}],"url":"https:\/\/internacional.umlivro.com.br\/collections\/historia-militar-e-de-conflitos.oembed","provider":"UmLivro Internacional","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
