Summary
John E. Finerty (1846 - 1908) was a reporter assigned by his paper to report on the last major Indian war on the Great Plains in 1876 under the command of General Alfred Terry.
Warpath and Bivouac, or the Conquest of the Sioux offers a picture of campaigning in the 1870s and records the sights and sounds of plains warfare. This campaign was the one in which General Custer suffered his famous defeat at the Little Big Horn.
Finerty gives an account of the Battle of the Rosebud which preceded the Custer massacre, and also reports on the later 1879 campaign to force the surrender of Sitting Bull and his Sioux who were the last resistance after Custer's defeat.
