What the Indians saw in the battles here described, I have learned during years of intimate acquaintance with those who took part in them.\"-George Bird Grinnell.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWithout critical comment or biased judgement, George Bird Grinnell-one of the truly great historians of the American Indian-has recorded the major battles that the Cheyennes fought. In this account the entire gallery of the heroic Cheyenne chiefs and warriors-Roman Nose and Black Kettle and Dull Knife and many others-emerge in full color as they strive against the greatest enemy of all: the failure of the white man to understand and appreciate their way of life and his ignorance of their real capacity for peace and cooperation.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\"[Grinnell's] integrity, sincerity, sympathy, and understanding made him welcome in every tipi. . . .
