The Frontier Chronicles
The Ghost Dance War
Hope, Fear, and the Road to Wounded Knee
A peaceful ceremony. A nation in fear. A tragedy born from misunderstanding.
In the winter of 1890, the Ghost Dance swept across the Plains. For the Lakota, it was a sacred prayer for renewal after decades of starvation, broken treaties, and the suppression of traditional life. To the United States government, it looked like the spark of an uprising.
The Ghost Dance War reveals how a spiritual movement rooted in hope was transformed into a national crisis—driven by fear, political pressure, and profound cultural ignorance.
The Frontier Chronicles
Women on the Prairie
Stories of Grit, Survival, and Unbroken Spirit on the American Frontier
The American frontier was built on courage, sacrifice, and unbelievable resilience—and women were at the center of it all.
Women on the Prairie uncovers the powerful, often overlooked stories of the women who crossed plains, survived captivity, forged alliances, buried children, tended soldiers, negotiated with Native nations, and endured hardships that reshaped the American West. Their lives reveal a frontier far more complex—and far more human—than the one found in traditional histories.
From pioneer diarists to Native interpreters, from survivors of tragedy to quiet builders of community, these twelve women show the true breadth of frontier womanhood.
