Full Description
The Battle of the Little Bighorn remains one of the most debated events in American military history. In this collection of meticulously researched essays, the author challenges long-standing myths, examines key decisions made by Custer and his superiors, and re-evaluates the evidence surrounding the battle and its participants.
Drawing on articles published in leading historical journals, this volume delves into topics such as Custer's reconnaissance, the accusations that he disobeyed orders, the strength of the warrior force he faced, and the reliability of testimony from the Reno Court of Inquiry. It also investigates the fate of the 7th Cavalry's horses, the provenance of a multi-million-dollar battle relic, and the distortions of modern internet sources.
