The Peace Chiefs
of the Cheyennes
by
Stan Hoig
Stated
First Edition
Book is in MINT condition in NEAR MINT DJ
* The Cheyenne peace chiefs met yearly as the
Council of the Forty-Four. "A Cheyenne chief was required to be a man
of peace, to be brave and to be of generous heart," writes Hoig. The
western movement of white civilization was a great burden to the peace
chiefs, as they struggled to maintain the integrity of their people as
they were trapped by history in impossible circumstances, struggling
against disease, "firewater" and the decline of their source of
livelihood - the buffalo.
* Stated first edition
* Univ of Oklahoma Press, 1980, 206 pg
