Summer Warpath — Wayne D. Overholser

The summer warpath began in late spring of 1876 under the command of General George Crook. Among other officers under Crook's command was the daring and resourceful Lieutenant Colonel George Armstrong Custer and the 7th Cavalry. The campaign's purpose was to round up the wild tribes of the Cheyenne and Sioux and place them on reservations. This is the story of three men involved in this campaign.
