The Little Bighorn: A History from Both Sides of the River

A complete history of the Battle of the Little Bighorn — told fully and fairly from both sides.

On June 25, 1876, George Armstrong Custer led five companies of the 7th U.S. Cavalry into the valley of the Little Bighorn and never came out. This book tells that story whole: the broken treaties that started the war, the officers and warriors who fought it, and an hour-by-hour account of the battle itself — built from military reports, courtroom testimony, and more than a century of Lakota and Cheyenne oral history.

This isn’t a quick paperback summary. It’s a genuinely researched, image-rich history covering:

- Full biographies of Custer, his brothers, and every officer who rode into the valley - Equal-depth biographies of Gall, Crazy Horse, Sitting Bull, and the warriors who defeated them - A detailed, chapter-by-chapter reconstruction of the battle - The contested mysteries historians still argue over - Historic photographs, period paintings, and battlefield maps throughout Available as a paperback or hardcover — a beautiful, substantial addition to any home library, and a genuinely thoughtful gift for the history reader in your life.

Perfect for: Civil War and Indian Wars enthusiasts, Montana and Western history lovers, teachers building a classroom reference shelf, or anyone who wants the full, honest story rather than the myth.
