The integral roles these forts played during decades of warfare with the Plains Indian tribes-and the fate of the posts after those wars ended-were essential to the expansion of the American West during this traumatic period of history.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e In \u003ci\u003eForts of the Northern Plains\u003c\/i\u003e Jeff Barnes presents an informative guidebook to the forts of the Indian campaigns of the late nineteenth century. Focusing on sites in Iowa, Minnesota, Montana, Nebraska, North Dakota, South Dakota, and Wyoming, Barnes includes the forts’ histories, descriptions of what remains today, directions, nearby points of interest, and visitor information for each post. This new expanded edition adds a number of federal sites designated as camps and posts, as well as civilian and militia sites that are marked. With new entries, color photographs, and updated information on the forts, as well as a rating system for traveler interests, Barnes provides an up-to-date guide of the historic military posts of the Indian Wars.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Bison Books","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52715076649240,"sku":"9781496235053","price":18.69,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/forts-of-the-northern-plains-a-guide-to-military-and-civilian-posts-of-the-plains-indian-wars-paperback-softback-9781496235053","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
