Cheyenne wars

The Cheyenne Wars Atlas is a free download with lots of nice color maps. It reminds us of the wars before, during and after the war and some of the people we know from our reading. The book includes brief accounts of:

- The Cheyenne Campaign of 1857 (featuring Sedgwick and Sumner, with cameos by Johnston, Harney, Stuart)
- The Cheyenne War of 1864 (featuring Curtis, Mitchell, and Blunt)
- Winfield Scott Hancock’s 1867 expedition (Hancock and Custer)
- Philip H. Sheridan’s 1868-69 winter campaign (Sheridan and Custer)

The material was developed out of the Command and General Staff College's Staff Rides and is quite interesting.
