The Day the World Ended at Little Bighorn: A Lakota History
Written by: Joseph M. Marshall III
Editorial Reviews:
The author of The Journey of Crazy Horse presents a legendary battle through the eyes of the Lakota
The saga of “Custer’s Last Stand” has become ingrained in the lore of the American West, and the key players—Crazy Horse, Sitting Bull, and George Armstrong Custer—have grown to larger-than-life proportions. Now, award-winning historian Joseph M. Marshall presents the revisionist view of the Battle of the Little Bighorn that has been available only in the Lakota oral tradition. Drawing on this rich source of storytelling, Marshall uncovers what really took place at the Little Big Horn and provides fresh insight into the significance of that bloody day.

Summary: DIfferant view of Little Big Horn?
Comment: I have read quite abit about Custers last stand, so I was looking forward to an Indian view of the Battle. Unfortunatly this book is very poorly written and confusing. It keeps jumping back and forth in history and repeats the samethings several time. Maybe that is because Indian culture didn't have a written lang.
Don't waste your money.
