ala…James Warner Bellah, since his books are out of print. I am looking for something, but I really can't find anything. Looking for suggestions. Thanks all. |

Terry Johnston did a series that covers the main battles and campaigns. It's pretty good. link regards, Bill |

Maybe a bit of a stretch, but Little Big Man is always a great read. |

Not exactly a novel, but Cheyenne Autumn by Mari Sandoz is good. |

Elmore Leonard did several short stories that focused on the Apache wars. |

Chiaventone also wrote a historical novel about Ft Phil Kearny and the Fetterman Massacre titled "Moon of the Bitter Cold." And I also did enjoy Terry Johnston's Plainsman series too, I began with Sioux Dawn (again with Fetterman) and ended 15 or so years latter with 3 books dealing with the Nez Pierce (sp?) war. Unfortunately Terry died before he could complete his series (perhaps at Wounded Knee?) I took one of his tours in 1999 titled the Northern Plains Indian Wars, one week touring Rosebud, Powder River, Wolf Mountain battle sites-that was a fantastic week! |

Did you check at abebooks.com? I saw some of his books there. One titled "The Apache" was there. There were 186 hits when I did my search. |

I don't remember the author, but Bugles in the Afternoon is a good read. |

Bugles in the Afternoon is by Ernest Haycox whose books I used to pick whenever I found them. Apparently William Chamberlain only wrote a couple of novels set in the Indian Wars (a number of others set in WWII and Korea) – Guns of Company K and Forced March to Loon Creek. Apparently not as popular as Bellah (I found them comparable), those books are only running a few dollars at ABE's Books and other sellers. |
