| Summary | "Fort Robinson: Outpost on the Plains" by Roger T. Grange is a historical account written in the mid-20th century that explores the significant events surrounding Fort Robinson and the Red Cloud Indian Agency during the tumultuous period of the Indian Wars. This narrative provides an in-depth look at the interactions between the U.S. Army, Native American tribes, and the complexities of life at the fort, highlighting key figures such as Indian Agent Dr. J. J. Saville and the renowned warrior Crazy Horse. At the start of the work, the narrative introduces the setting in 1874, as a military expedition departs from Fort Laramie towards the Red Cloud Agency under the looming threat of conflict with the Sioux Indians. Concerns about hostilities simmer amidst inclement weather as the expedition's generals believe they might provoke a war. The author details the political dynamics among the Sioux, their alliances, and the fluctuating sentiments towards the U.S. government, offering readers a glimpse into the struggles faced by Agent Saville as he navigates the challenging landscape of Indian relations. This opening effectively sets the stage for the subsequent events at Fort Robinson, characterized by military presence and Native American response, which spans several crucial years of American history.
