Custer's Luck. A comprehensive look at the Battle of Little Big Horn. Includes pertinent facts of the Grant administration, the embitterment of the Great Plains tribes, and the deteriorating Civil War army. It describes the Seventh Cavalry and its leader but also of the Grant-Custer feud, Sitting Bull, the Belknap scandal, Rain-in-the-Face, the battle strategy of the Indians, and Custer’s military rivals. Particular note is taken of the effect on history of Custer’s recklessness and glory-seeking and of the superstitions and fatalistic determination of the Sioux and the Cheyennes.
The Battle of the Little Big Horn, is reconstructed in this account largely on Indian eyewitness testimony.
