Killing Crazy Horse

The Merciless Indian Wars in America

By: Bill O'Reilly, Martin Dugard

Narrated by: Bill O'Reilly, Robert Petkoff

This program includes a prologue read by Bill O'Reilly.

The latest installment of the multimillion-selling Killing series is a gripping journey through the American West and the historic clashes between Native Americans and settlers.

The bloody Battle of Tippecanoe was only the beginning. It’s 1811 and President James Madison has ordered the destruction of Shawnee warrior Chief Tecumseh’s alliance of tribes in the Great Lakes region. But while General William Henry Harrison would win this fight, the armed conflict between Native Americans and the newly formed United States would rage on for decades.

In Killing Crazy Horse, best-selling authors Bill O’Reilly and Martin Dugard venture through the fraught history of our country’s founding on already occupied lands, from General Andrew Jackson’s brutal battles with the Creek Nation to President James Monroe’s epic “sea to shining sea” policy, to President Martin Van Buren’s cruel enforcement of a “treaty” that forced the Cherokee Nation out of their homelands along what would be called the Trail of Tears.

O’Reilly and Dugard take listeners behind the legends to reveal never-before-told historical moments in the fascinating creation story of America. This fast-paced, wild ride through the American frontier will shock listeners and impart unexpected lessons that reverberate to this day.

Interesting review of the settling of 1800s America

Fascinating personal history of the Indians and the settling of America during the 1800s. As O’Reilly states, it is the completion of the Monroe doctrine to settle all of North America. The Indians dreaded it and fought it but ultimately were overwhelmed by the settlers creating the America we know today. Sad in many ways for our indian brothers but invigorating opportunities created for the world.

Excellent reading of American history

Learned a lot of of the Native Americans and their plight with the American Collinist as they acquired land on the western frontier.

Riveting and no shortage of detail!

Story’s that were only mere legends by name are described in detail. Making clear why these tales have survived the test of time. Heartache, victory, defeat, and misfortune liter this tale of Native American history. I highly recommend listening to this book.

Again another home run

Like the other Killing books series this was a great listen. Hope Bill and Martin will continue their great work. Looking forward to a new book soon.

Engaging

An engaging and informative history of how the American Government treated the Native Americans.
