Little Bighorn remembered : the untold Indian story of Custer's last stand

Summary: "On the morning of June 25, 1876, soldiers of the elite U.S. Seventh Cavalry led by Lieutenant Colonel George Armstrong Custer attacked a large Indian encampment on the banks of the Little Bighorn River. By day's end, Custer and more than two hundred of his men lay dead. It was a shocking defeat - or magnificent victory, depending on your point of view - and more than a century later it is still the object of controversy, debate, and fascination."--Jacket.
