It is a very interesting read that focuses on the " Battles, wars, adventures, forays, murders, massacres, etc., etc."

I assume it is rather one sided, yet I was a bit shocked on the cruelty of the Indians towards women and children.

I was wondering what you scholars think of the book and it's authenticity?

Yes. I have that one.

I’m pretty sure Wilbarger’s accounts are accurate, he spoke to the people involved, first person.

Yep.
