First published in a New York journal in two series, 1844-45 and 1845-46, Lieutenant J. Henry Carleton's Prairie Logbooks describe two different military expeditions into the barely explored territories of the West. The first expedition, involving fourteen officers, five companies of cavalry, fifteen supply wagons and teamsters, and two brass howitzers, went deep into Nebraska Territory to put down warfare between the Pawnees and the Sioux. The second, under the command of Stephen Watts Kearny, was sent to escort emigrants on the Oregon Trail as far as South Pass and to reconnoitre the Santa Fe Trail, the key land of commerce between Mexico and the United States. Carleton (well known for his later campaign against the Navajos and Mescalero Apaches) wished to "take his reader along on the campaign" and did so meticulously describing every important detail, and by sticking to the facts. Full of memorably portrayed characters--soldiers, Indians, wagoners, and mountain men--The Prairie Logbooks provide a clear chronicle of the work and adventure of a large military force traveling through the spectacular western landscape.

Henry Rush is spending the day at the Prairie Wildlife Refuge, determined to photograph a prairie dog doing a back flip. But while he whatches and waites at the edge of prairie dog town, he fails to notice the electricity humming through the air. Or the buffalo aniously pawing the ground. Or the purple-blue cloud building over the prairie grass. A tornado is forming to the west . And when the dark funnel touches down, it will wipe out everything in it's path...
