Summary:

"It was referred to in the national press and by historians as the Battle at the Little Bighorn or the Custer Massacre. The Indians called it the Greasy Grass Fight. What actually happened in that battle seems chaos and confusion. Custer was an idiot. He was a hero. He did everything right (just everything went wrong). He did everything wrong (and nothing went right). Johnny D. Boggs brings the events and personalities involved in the battle to life by a series of first-hand accounts by Custer himself, Red Cloud, Sitting Bull, Rain-In-The-Face, Pretty White Buffalo Woman, Major Marcus Reno, Colonel Frederick Benteen, Dr. Henry R. Porter, Black Elk, and even trumpeter Giovanni Martini. From this varied testimony comes a panorama of the battle in which a sense of what actually happened powerfully emerges." --From the dust jacket cover
