Publisher Description
This program includes a prologue read by Bill O'Reilly
The latest installment of the multimillion-selling Killing series is a gripping journey through the American West and the historic clashes between Native Americans and settlers.
The bloody Battle of Tippecanoe was only the beginning. It’s 1811 and President James Madison has ordered the destruction of Shawnee warrior chief Tecumseh’s alliance of tribes in the Great Lakes region. But while General William Henry Harrison would win this fight, the armed conflict between Native Americans and the newly formed United States would rage on for decades.
In Killing Crazy Horse bestselling authors Bill O’Reilly and Martin Dugard venture through the fraught history of our country’s founding on already occupied lands, from General Andrew Jackson’s brutal battles with the Creek Nation to President James Monroe’s epic “sea to shining sea” policy, to President Martin Van Buren’s cruel enforcement of a “treaty” that forced the Cherokee Nation out of their homelands along what would be called the Trail of Tears. O’Reilly and Dugard take listeners behind the legends to reveal never-before-told historical moments in the fascinating creation story of America.
This fast-paced, wild ride through the American frontier will shock listeners and impart unexpected lessons that reverberate to this day.

Great book
I just wished they could have mentioned John Horse and the Seminole.
One of the best yet!
Great historical book! Well with the read!
Great book loved Great book it !I great experience of traveling to this region
I had a wonderful opportunity to visit the ranch where dances with wolves was filmed. This is an immense property and has the Buffalo herd that was used in the filing. You can stand in one spot and turn around 360 degrees and never see the end. It was absolutely an amazing spectacle.
They ruled this area as a great nation before we came in and took it. People like Crazy Horse were great leaders, understood this enormous and wonderful resource but we did not!
Lastly, on this trip I had an opportunity to meet a direct descendent of Sitting Bull another great experience.
Again I repeat this book was terrific reading and I would recommend it to any one who enjoys history and and wants to learn about this great culture which we caused the to disappear from the face of the planet and totally change the Great Plains of the west. I wish it could be transported back In time when it was loaded with free roaming masses of Buffalo and the great people that followed and lived off them and appreciated them!
