Sitting Bull’s War: Book Signing with Historian Paul L. Hedren

Join us at the Fort Robinson History Center on August 8, 2026, at 1:00 PM MT for a free special book signing with acclaimed historian Paul L. Hedren, author of the newly released Sitting Bull’s War: The Battle of Little Big Horn and the Fight for Buffalo and Freedom on the Plains. (Copies will be available for purchase.)
Ten years in the making, Hedren’s latest narrative is a welcome addition to the story of America’s greatest Indian war told from the perspective of the Lakotas and the Northern Cheyennes, as they fight for their way of life on the buffalo prairie in the face of white invaders—railroaders, borderland surveyors, prospectors, and ultimately the United States Army.
*Note: Fort Robinson is a state park requiring a pass from Nebraska Game and Parks to enter.
