Grnemae avatar reviewed on + 451 more book reviews


This is a carefully reasoned analysis of the action at the Little Bighorn. By breaking the Indian accounts of the battle into segments, then correlating them on a plausible time scale, the author reproduces a coherent narrative that reconciles discrepancies. Lakota Noon places the victors where they belong, front and center, while adding a new dimension to the old debate as to what happened at the Little Bighorn. This is a book for every student of the Custer Battle.
