Soldiers of the U.S. Army on the Northern Plains were awarded the Medal of Honor 133 times during the years of the Indian War Period. The book looks at the battles, actions by the Medal of Honor recipients and biographical information on these men. The Indian Wars on the Northern Plains largely involved the Sioux, more properly known as the Lakota, Dakota or Nakota peoples, the Nez Perce, Northern Cheyenne, Chippewa and other Native tribes. The conflict between the U.S. Army and the Native warriors continued for more than half a century. The Medal of Honor, created to honor privates in the Union Army during the American Civil War, was used to pay tribute to the men who performed above and beyond the call of duty. The conflicts range from small skirmishes largely forgotten by history to notable battles such as the Little Bighorn and the flight of the Nez Perce. In all cases, it is the action of the individual that is impartant rather than the big picture story of campaigns and politics.
