General
George
Crook

A.

: Their
careers
as
Indian
fighters
and
allied
adversaries
Degree Program
History
Abstract
The
U.S
.
Military’s
efforts
to
rid
the
American
frontier
of its
troublesome
native
inhabitants
reached
its
climax
in the
post—antebellum
period
.
Lacking
a
set
doctrine
,
individual
officers
had to
take
matters
in to their
own
hands
and
decided
how they, as an
individual
, would
deal
with the
Indians
they
encountered
.
Form
this,
two
camps
arose
: the
first
strove
to
annihilate
the
Indians
, and the
second
desired
to
subdue
hostile
Indians
and
make
them
along
with
peaceable
Indians
,
self-reliant
citizens
of the
U.S
.
Generals
George
Crook
and
Nelson
A.
Miles
exemplified
these
two
camps
.
Miles
saw
the
Indian
as
being
in the
way
of
European
progress
,
while
Crook
felt
as
though
the
Indians
were the
unfortunate
victim
of
westward
expansion
. The
two
men
differed
as
much
in
strategy
as they
did
in
personality
.
Crook
was
quiet
,
almost
reticent
,
while
Miles
was
flamboyant
,
even
dashing
.
Both
men
were
expert
tacticians
in the
art
of
warfare
,
although
each
man’s
approach
differed
. In the
mid-1870s
, their
paths
crossed
on the
dusty
Montana
plains
.
Form
that
point
on, the
lives
of
Crook
and
Miles
became
entwined
in a
personal
and
professional
dispute
filled
with
deep-seated
animosity
fueled
by
Miles’
ambition
.
