Sagebrush Soldier is an account of military life during the Indian Wars in the late nineteenth-century West. Private William Earl Smith covers the war from the enlisted man's viewpoint and describes daily camp life, battle scenes, and the behavior of famous men -- Ranald Mackenzie and George Crook -- in public and private poses. Sherry Smith assembles a balanced, comprehensive history by incorporating the testimony of officers, Indians scouts and allies, and their enemy, the Northern Cheyennes.
