This book is hailed as the most significant work on the Battle of the Little Bighorn, showcasing a rigorous analysis that surpasses previous historical accounts. The author's detailed time-motion study of the participants' movements is mind-boggling and sets a new standard for future scholarship on the battle. By challenging long-held beliefs, the author emphasizes the importance of Indian witnesses, particularly the young scout Curley, whose testimony has often been dismissed due to perceived contradictions. The author convincingly argues that these inconsistencies stem from the assumptions of the questioners rather than Curley's account. This work restates the fundamental elements that continue to captivate interest in the Little Bighorn. The analysis is impressively logical and offers a reconstruction that is likely to endure in the field of Custer and Indian wars literature. The author, John S. Gray, was a distinguished historian known for his acclaimed works, including "Centennial: The Sioux War of 1876." His contributions have earned him notable awards, including the Western Writers of America Spur Award and the Little Bighorn Associates John M. Carroll Literary Award.
