Mildred P. Mayhall (1902–1987)

A good book containing a series of unconnected accounts of major Indian battles and interactions. Mayhall was a historian and has included extensive citatations for each chapter. It is clear each chapter was written separately and events, such as the Elm Creek Raid, are described from multiple viewpoints. Overall a very good description of the action in most cases and one that fairly presents those involved.

Events covered are:
The Battle of Adobe Walls, 1874
The Council House Fight
The Battle of Plum Creek
Alvar Nunez Cabeza de Vaca
The Wagon Train Massacre of 1871
Early Texas Indian Agents
Cynthia Ann Parker
Millie Dugan
The Elm Creek Raid of Oct. 13, 1864
Kit Carson and the Battle of Adobe Walls, 1864
The Battle of Palo Duro Canyon, 1874… (altro)
