Cheyenne autumn by Mari Sandoz
This book is about the Indians that were told to leave and head west to Yellowstone but they just wanted to go back to their places and survive.
Many battles and you get to hear what the Indians as well as the army troops were contemplating. At one point the army was told to kill all Indians 12 years old and higher, that would make them extinct and not be able to survive with just females.
Broken treaties, skirmishes throughout the years and how they are able to survive.
I received this book from National Library Service for my BARD (Braille Audio Reading Device).

5.0
Facing starvation and disease, the Cheyenne under Little Wolf and Dull Knife escaped the Southern Indian territory to head back to Yellowstone. This book recounts the amazing bravery and perseverance shown by these people--many of whom were elderly and sick. So very good. So very heartbreaking..
