But one great Cheyenne chief, Black Kettle, understood that the whites could not be stopped. To save his people, he worked unceasingly to establish peace and avoid bloodshed. Yet despite his heroic efforts, the Cheyennes were repeatedly betrayed and would become the victims of two notorious massacres, the second of which cost Black Kettle his life. In this first biography of black Kettle, historian Thom Hatch at last gives us the full story of this illustrious Native American leader, offering an unforgettable portrait of a chief who sought peace but found war.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Praise For Thom Hatch\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e The Blue, the Gray, and the Red\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \"Clear and even-handed. . . .
