A thrilling description of the events surrounding the Battle of Massacre Canyon. The last great confrontation between American Indian tribes on the North American continent.
The Battle of Massacre Canyon occurred in a valley in southwestern Nebraska on August 5, 1873. Fought between an Pawnee hunting expedition and a Sioux war party, the battle shocked the nation as a whole and inspired fear and speculation within the young state of a bloody plains war.
In Shawn J Farritor's first novel, "End of Pawnee Starlight" memorable characters are drawn from Nebraska history to create a stirring account of the final years of the Pawnee Nation within the state.
As the last confrontation between American Indian tribes, the battle was a harbinger of the removal of both tribes from their beloved Nebraska homelands.
