  • January Moon: The Northern Cheyenne Breakout from Fort Robinson, 1878-1879

    Open AccessJohn H MonnettARTICLEJournal of American History2021

    The Northern Cheyenne Nation in Lame Deer, Montana, is today vastly proud of its extensive and diverse history and its contributions to American history. A seminal episode of that history, still ceremoniously celebrated today, is the notable breakout of Council Chief Dull Knife and his followers and their families from imprisonment in a cavalry barracks building at Fort Robinson, Nebraska, on January 9, 1879, and their heroic defense of their wom…

  • Valley of the Guns: The Pleasant Valley War and the Trauma of Violence

    Open AccessJohn H MonnettARTICLEJournal of American History2020

    Arizona's Pleasant Valley War of 1882–1892 near modern-day Payson, often called the Graham-Tewksbury Feud, was one of the bloodiest range wars in western history. It involved Apaches, independent ranchers, cattle barons, stock detectives, imported Texas cowboys, vigilantes, cattle, sheep, and bloodshed that left some twenty to fifty men dead (numbers vary depending on the source). The Grahams and Tewksburys were pioneer cattlemen who moved into t…

  • Webs of Kinship: Family in Northern Cheyenne Nationhood

    John H MonnettARTICLEJournal of American History2018

Throughout Northern Cheyennes' wars, suffering, and attempts…

  • Tell Them We Are Going Home: The Odyssey of the Northern Cheyennes

    Donald J Berthrong, John H MonnettARTICLEJournal of American History2002

    This odyssey was violent and brutal as Dull Knife (Morning Star) and Little Wolf tried to lead their people back to their Powder River homeland. Transfer a year earlier to a reservation occupied in part by Southern Cheyennes led immediately to problems. Hunger, malaria, pressure to place their children in agency schools, and clashes with southern council chiefs over leadership issues led Dull Knife and Little Wolf to undertake their perilous jour…
