Inhaltsangabe

"A long association with the Cheyennes has given me a special interest in them, and a special wish that they should be allowed to speak for themselves. What the Indians saw in the battles here described, I have learned during years of intimate acquaintance with those who took part in them." —George Bird Grinnell, Preface to The Fighting Cheyennes The Fighting Cheyennes (1915), by George Bird Grinnell, describes the battles fought by the Cheyennes, a Native American people originally from what is now Minnesota. In writing this book, Grinnell consulted many different people with first-hand experience in the Cheyenne wars, and presents, as he stated, "the accounts by whites and Indians, without comment." One of Grinnell’s main sources was the researcher George Hyde (1882–1968), who claimed to be the ghost writer for this classic book.

Über diesen Titel

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

George Bird Grinnell was an American naturalist, historian, writer, ethnographer, and conservationist. Born in Brooklyn in 1849, he studied zoology and participated in expeditions across the American West before becoming editor of Forest and Stream. His experiences brought him into sustained contact with Native nations of the Plains, particularly the Blackfoot, Cheyenne, and Pawnee, whose histories and traditions became central subjects of his writing.Grinnell was also a major figure in the early American conservation movement. He advocated for the protection of wildlife, helped organize efforts to preserve the American bison, and played an influential role in the creation and protection of public lands. His other works include Pawnee Hero Stories and Folk-Tales, The Cheyenne Indians, and The Story of the Indian. Although his ethnographic writing reflects the perspective and limitations of his era, the material he recorded remains significant to the study of Native American history and the cultures of the Great Plains.
