Washakie, Chief Of The Shoshones

Washakie was chief of the eastern band of the Shoshone Indians for almost sixty years, until his death in 1900. A strong leader of his own people, he saw the wisdom of befriending the whites. This title offers a view of Washakie's long life and the early history of Shoshone-occupied present-day Wyoming and parts of Montana, Idaho, and Utah.
