Product Information
"Sets a new standard for Western Indian Wars history." --Stuart Rosebrook, True West Magazine *Winner of the Gilder Lehrman Prize for Military History and the 2017 Caroline Bancroft History Prize *Finalist for the Western Writers of America's 2017 Spur Award in Best Western Historical Nonfiction Bringing together a pageant of fascinating characters including Custer, Sherman, Grant, and a host of other military and political figures, as well as great native leaders such as Crazy Horse, Sitting Bull, Geronimo, and Red Cloud, The Earth is Weeping-- lauded by Booklist as "a beautifully written work of understanding and compassion"--is the fullest account to date of how the West was won...and lost. With the end of the Civil War, the nation recommenced its expansion onto traditional Indian tribal lands, setting off a wide-ranging conflict that would last more than three decades. In an exploration of the wars and negotiations that destroyed tribal ways of life even as they made possible the emergence of the modern United States, Peter Cozzens gives us both sides in comprehensive and singularly intimate detail. He illuminates the encroachment experienced by the tribes and the tribal conflicts over whether to fight or make peace, and explores the squalid lives of soldiers posted to the frontier and the ethical quandaries faced by generals who often sympathized with their native enemies. *A Times " History Book of the Year" and A Smithsonian "Top History Book of 2016" *Shortlisted for Military History Magazine's Book of the Year Award

Reviews
"I've been waiting for an up-to-date, objective, and well-researched book on the Indian Wars, and Peter Cozzens' The Earth Is Weeping is all that and more--an elegantly written narrative of one of the great sagas in American history, and better than Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee ." --James Donovan, author of A Terrible Glory and The Blood of Heroes "[A]magnificent single-volume account of the post-Civil War conflicts that shaped our history and the mythology of the frontier... In examining the various Indian tribes and subgroupings within them, Cozzens does an admirable job of conveying their complexity and political divisions. This is a beautifully written work of understanding and compassion that will be a treasure for both general readers and specialists." --Jay Freeman, Booklist (STARRED review) "[A]dds a missing perspective on the lives of ordinary people on both sides. Grand plans descended into confusion and cross purposes, alliances and loyalties shifted momentarily, and soldiers and warriors and their families spent most of that quarter-century tired, hungry, discouraged, trying just to survive the next drought or winter...No wonder their earth wept." --William C. Davis, author of Three Roads to the Alamo and An Honorable Defeat "Peter Cozzens reminds us that tragedy, not melodrama, best characterizes the struggles for the American West... The Earth Is Weeping is the most lucid and reliable history of the Indian Wars in recent memory." --Victor Davis Hanson, author of Carnage and Culture "An evenhanded and smoothly written volume that is no less ambitious in scope than Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee ." --Andrew Graybill, The American Scholar "A comprehensive assessment of the wars for control of the American West. Highly recommended for the intertwined history of Native Americans and the post-Civil War frontier U.A. Army." --Nathan Bender, Library Journal "Peter Cozzens, one of our finest working historians, has taken on a massive chunk of Native American history and delivered it with power, style, and insight...There is much wisdom here, and much good writing." --S.C. Gwynne, author of Empire of the Summer Moon , and Rebel Yell "The uninterrupted succession of armed conflicts between the U. S. army and Indians on the Great Plains and Rocky Mountains from the 1860s to 1890, with fatalities mounting into the thousands, were truly America's longest and most tragic war. In sobering detail, Peter Cozzens has chronicled this dark chapter in our history." --James M. McPherson, author of The War That Forged a Nation and Battle Cry of Freedom, "...[S]ets a new standard for Western Indian Wars... [T]he most comprehensive, insightful synthesis of the conflict between the Western tribes and the United States government and citizens published by a popular New York press in decades... Like William Manchester's The Glory and the Dream... [Cozzens'] brilliant thesis and detailed narrative will sustain the reader...from the prologue to the conclusion... [S]uccinctly seeks a sharper understanding of the cause and effects of the American government's policies, citizen relations with the tribes, intertribal history and warfare, and the United States' massive immigration into the West during and after the Civil War." --Stuart Rosebrook, True West Magazine "I've been waiting for an up-to-date, objective, and well-researched book on the Indian Wars, and Peter Cozzens' The Earth Is Weeping is all that and more--an elegantly written narrative of one of the great sagas in American history, and better than Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee ." --James Donovan, author of A Terrible Glory and The Blood of Heroes "[A]magnificent single-volume account of the post-Civil War conflicts that shaped our history and the mythology of the frontier...
