Counting Coup and Cutting Horses

Originally published: Evergreen, Colo.: Cordillera Press, c1990.

Anthony R. McGinnis is a historian and former high school teacher whose research in intertribal warfare has taken him all over the West. He has published articles in numerous historical journals, including the Journal of the West, Montana: The Magazine of Western History, and the Red River Valley Historical Review.

"In preparing this book, Anthony McGinnis consulted a wide variety of sources, including early travelers' accounts, government reports, and studies by other authorities, to present a comprehensive history of the conflict. Some content has been dealt with elsewhere, though not as sweepingly as here. Most significantly, McGinnis helps to further define the Indians' motivations and explain their responses to the ideas, products, and events that affected them throughout the culturally critical mid-1800s. . . . "Counting Coup and Cutting Horses" merits attention as a worthwhile contribution to the field of Indian history."--Jerome A. Greene, "Montana: The Magazine of Western History"--Jerome A.
