The traditional lands of the Creek, Cherokee, Choctaw, Chickasaw and Seminole Indians were quickly absorbed, and the rapid advance of the frontier soon brought the white man into conflict with the Kiowa, Comanche, Apache and Navajo tribes. Numerous posts and forts were built to protect trading posts and settlers, and to police the Indian reservations. This title explores the design and development of these sites, the life of the garrisons that manned them, and the clashes with Native American warriors such as Geronimo, Manuelito and Quanah Parker.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: GBItem Height: 248mmItem Length: 184mmItem Width: 7mmItem Weight: 242gAuthor: Ron FieldIllustrator: Adam HookContributor: Adam Hook (Illustrated by)Genre: Law & PoliticsTopic: History, Military HistoryBook Series: FortressRelease Year: 2006 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
