By the 1870s, there were only a few pockets of resistance against the nations push to conquer the West. On the Great Plains, Sitting Bull followed his mystical visions and urged his Lakota people to fight rather than surrender their sacred Black Hills and traditional way of life. On a hot summer day at the Little Bighorn, they would defeat another warrior equally sure of his own invincibility - George Armstrong Custer.
But Custer's "Last Stand" would also become, in effect, the last stand of the Sioux as a free people.
In Utah, the Morman patriarch Brigham Young, who had led his people to sanctuary in the desert, would
be forced to choose between saving his church or sacrificing his spiritual son. Farther west, Chief
Joseph of the Nez Perce, who struggled for decades to remain at peace with the Americans, would find
himself helping to lead one of the most extraordinary military campaigns in American history.
