About this product

Product Information

The battle that unfolded at the Little Big Horn River on June 25, 1876, marked a watershed in the history of the Plains Indians. While the history of that battle has filled thousands of books, few have analysed the tactics and chronology to arrive at a satisfactory explanation of what befell Custer and his men. This volume explores the battle through a close examination of timing, setting every event to a specific moment based on accounts of the battle's participants.
