The Battle of Little Bighorn

In June 1876, the U.S. 7th Cavalry under Lieutenant Colonel George Custer clashed with a united force of Lakota, Cheyenne, and Arapaho warriors on the banks of the Little Bighorn River. The book follows both the soldiers and Native American leaders such as Sitting Bull and Crazy Horse, detailing their tactics, decisions, and the chaos of the fight that ended Custer's defeat. It also situates the battle within the larger context of westward expansion and Native resistance, and explains its immediate aftermath and lasting legacy in American history.
