I remember that story I think it was part of a collection of science fiction alternate history stories.

There was another entitled “Custer’s Last Jump”, wherein the 7th Air Cavalry parachute balloon infantry is decimated by a squadron of former Confederate Air Force fighters led by Crazy Horse, lol.

The story is told in the form of extracts from first-person accounts drawn from letters, diaries and newspaper articles of the period.

Don’t think it is from the same series but I read an alternate history story many years ago where Native Americans did a better job of adopting modern tech. Time frame was set all the way up to jet airplane tech. Europeans were holding on to few coastal enclaves (New York, etc.) Native Americans had superior air power so Europeans could not expand, but Native Americans could not compete with Europeans sea power to totally force Europeans out.
