Warriors In Khaki [Paperback]

The Indian Men from North Dakota who Served in WWI

Warriors in Khaki brings the history of WWI back to life through the biographies and photos of North Dakotas Indian men who served in The Great War. It provides a personal link, a DNA chain, between the five or more generations of ND Indians since the time when President Wilson asked Congress to declare war on Germany in 1917.

Warriors in Khaki details service, awards, battle accomplishments, and service affiliation of North Dakota Native Americans of the Fort Berthold Indian Reservation (Mandan, Hidatsa, and Arikara Nation), Standing Rock Sioux, Fort Totten Sioux, and Turtle Mountain Band of Chippewa who served in World War I, information not readily available in any existing work.

This compilation fills a need and helps to recognize the continuing patriotism and over-the-top contribution of North Dakota Native Americans in that great conflict.
