The Dust Rose Like Smoke: The Subjugation of the Zulu and the Sioux: summary, description and annotation

In 1876 Lakota and Cheyenne warriors annihilated Custers Seventh Cavalry at Little Bighorn. Three years later and half a world away, a British force was wiped out by Zulu warriors at Isandhlwana in South Africa. In both cases the total defeat of regular army troops by forces regarded as undisciplined barbarian tribesmen stunned an imperial nation.Although the similarities between the two frontier encounters have long been noted, James O. Gumps book The Dust Rose Like Smoke is the first to scrutinize them in a comparative context. This study issues a challenge to American exceptionalism, he writes. Viewing both episodes as part of a global pattern of intensified conflict in the latter 1800s resulting from Western domination over a vast portion of the globe, Gumps comparative study persuasively traces the origins and aftermath of both episodes.He examines the complicated ways in which Lakota and Zulu leadership sought to protect indigenous interests while Western leadership calculated their subjugation to imperial authority. The second edition includes a new preface from the author, revised and expanded chapters, and an interview with Leonard Little Finger (great-great-grandson of Ghost Dance leader Big Foot), whose story connects Wounded Knee and Nelson Mandela.

Praise for the first edition of The Dust Rose Like Smoke
An excellent scholarly introduction to the eighteenth- and nineteenth-century history of the Sioux and the Zulus as well as a thoughtful analysis of United States and British expansion.
Journal of American History
The first detailed, in-depth comparison of the closing of the American and South African frontiers.... Gump has performed a valuable service by showing that the events surrounding Little Big Horn and Isandhlwana were comparable incidents in a global narrative.
Journal of Social History
Informative to both specialist and general readers.
American Historical Review
[Gumps] opening chapters show a mastery of all the relevant historical literature. Indeed, they could be set for any undergraduate course in imperial history as textbook examples of how to build up a comparative framework of analysis.
Journal of Imperial and Commonwealth History
Praise for the second edition of The Dust Rose Like Smoke
It would be difficult to exaggerate the value of this brief but pioneering book as a successful example of the historian using the comparative approach. Historians of the American West should find this model especially challenging and liberating. It is also a good example of how an ethnohistorical approach can explain the dynamics of the internal politics and subimperial politics of Zulu and Sioux leaders.
Ethnohistory
This unique and imaginatively written book will serve as a model and hopefully inspire others to consider comparative studies.
Canadian Review of American Studies
An excellent example of what comparative history can be. James Gump has managed an entertaining and thoughtful book, one that will illuminate the history of southern Africa and the United States for both academic and general readers by thoughtfully tying them together.
Montana: The Magazine of Western History
Both academics and general readers will be fascinated by the authors insights.... Gumps superb work will surely serve as a model for additional comparative studies.... [It is] an analytical book that admirably fulfills the highest expectations of comparative history.
Wyoming Annals
Engrossing.
Choice
Genuine comparative history is rare, and James Gump has provided an admirably clear and concise example of this important approach to historical analysis. All who are interested in Native American, South African, or imperial history will benefit from his account.
Robin Winks, Yale University
I find the comparison of the Sioux and the Zulu a fascinating excursion in historical parallels and contracts.
Robert M. Utley
A fascinating and intellectually stimulating work of interest to both specialists and non-specialists alike.
Journal of African History
The Dust Rose Like Smoke should delight students of the Sioux War. It is precise and well-paced, intertwining its two case studies to throw new light on an old subject. It will stimulate debate.
North Dakota History
Tightly organized and interestingly written. The data are current and well analyzed, and the comparative approach adds insight.... The book is informative to both specialist and general readers.

For Lee Ann and Scott
In May 2001 I met with Leonard Little Finger in his office in Oglala, a small town on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation in southwestern South Dakota. Little Finger, a lifelong resident on Pine Ridge, taught Lakota studies to Lakota children at Loneman School. Soon after we exchanged pleasantries, Leonard shared a story about John Little Finger, his grandfather. When I was a boy of eight or nine, Little Finger related, I went fishing one day with my grandfather John in the reservoir near Oglala. Soon after they began fishing, both heard the rumble of thunder in the distance. Grandfather said that the thunder reminded him of Wounded Knee. It was the first time he ever talked about Wounded Knee. Little Fingers grandfather then lifted his pants leg to reveal a hideous scar and proceeded to tell his grandson the story about that terrible day in December 1890.
On December 29, 1890, troops from the U.S. Seventh Cavalry, George Armstrong Custers old regiment, opened fire on a party of mostly unarmed ghost dancers on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation, homeland of the Oglala Lakotas. When the firing ceased, several hundred Lakota people, including men, women, and children, lay dead at Wounded Knee. Some bodies were found three miles from the original Lakota encampment, gunned down in cold blood. On New Years Day 1891 a troop detachment returned to the killing ground at Wounded Knee. The soldiers dug a large pit, collected the frozen Lakota corpses scattered about, and tossed them into a mass grave. After the winter passed, the Lakotas put
Historians have often described Wounded Knee as a battle rather than a massacre,
One of the victims at Wounded Knee was Big Foot, John Little Fingers grandfather and Leonards great-great-grandfather. Big Foot, a Miniconjou Lakota chief, served as the leader of the ghost dancers camped at Wounded Knee Creek. Big Foot and his followers, approximately four hundred people, turned to the Ghost Dance religion in the late summer of 1890. The Ghost Dance emanated from the teachings of Wovoka, a Paiute living in Walker Valley, Nevada. During a solar eclipse on January 1, 1888, Wovoka experienced an apocalyptic vision of a new world that featured the return of Indian ancestors, plentiful buffalo herds, and the destruction of the white race. Wovokas teachings spread rapidly among the western tribes and were embraced enthusiastically by many Lakotas residing on their reservations in the Dakotas. The dancing, meant to hasten the new millennium, generated paranoia among some reservation officials, who conjectured that an Indian uprising was imminent. For example, the agent at Cheyenne River Reservation, Big Foots homeland, labeled the Miniconjou chief and his followers as hostiles in the fall of 1890. In fact, Big Foot was an old man in extremely poor health who wanted to avoid hostilities with the U.S. government. Two-thirds of his followers consisted of women and children.
