Twelve books, nearly all pertaining to the Great Sioux War of 1876-77

A native Minnesotan, Paul Hedren retired from the National Park Service in 2007 after some thirty-seven years as a park historian and superintendent at such storied places as Fort Laramie, Wyoming, the Golden Spike Site in Utah, Fort Union in North Dakota, and the Niobrara Scenic River in Nebraska. He devotes his time now to writing.

Paul is the author of scores of scholarly and popular articles appearing in magazines and journals far and wide, plus twelve books, nearly all pertaining to the Great Sioux War of 1876-77. He particularly enjoys studying and interpreting that conflict’s subtleties and consequences, though he has also written about its great battles.
