Cheyenne Historical Episodes picks up where Maheos Children leaves off, continuing the story of the Cheyenne people from around A.D. 1800 through to 1890. Through carefully selected episodes, the author brings to life key moments in Cheyenne history, offering unique insights into their experiences and struggles during this period.Building on oral traditions shared by tribal informants and supported by newly uncovered documented research, this volume presents fresh perspectives on intertribal warfare and cultural history not previously explored in earlier studies. Both a continuation and a deepening of the work begun in Maheos Children, this book provides readers with a rare and authentic account of the Cheyenne's journey across the 19th century

The tradition of oral history is central to Native American cultures. Crow Indian Episodes of the Old Frontier is a unique collection of stories shared with the author over many years. On once occasion he was taken to a site, which in 1820 saw an over-whelming force of combined Cheyenne and Sioux attack a Crow camp and 800 Crow women and children were taken captive. Stone axe-heads and arrowpoints still littered the ground at the time of the author's visit.Crow Indian Episodes of the Old Frontier focusses mainly on the turbulent years of the nineteeth century as settlers occupied large areas of Native American land, often creating appalling hardship and also amplifying intertribal conflicts and deep-seated distrust between tribes who were struggling to maintain hunting grounds and water sources. In addition to the tales of intertribal battles, land disputes and the complex relationships with white men, Brian Keefe's book conveys the Crow Nation's affinity and respect for the natural world.
