New York: Scribner, (2020). First edition - Based on letters and diaries, military records and oral histories, and photographs and maps from the time, this book sheds light on a forgotten chapter of American history as it explores the connections among the Civil War, the Indian wars, and western expansion. It focuses on nine individuals - among them "John R. Baylor, a Texas legislator who established the Confederate Territory of Arizona; Kit Carson, a famous frontiersman who led a company of volunteers against the Texans, Navajos, Kiowas, and Comanches; Juanita, a Navajo weaver who resisted Union campaigns against her people; Alonzo Ickis, an Iowa-born gold miner who fought on the side of the Union; and Mangas Coloradas, a revered Chiricahua Apache chief who worked to expand Apache territory in Arizona."
