The Battle of the Little Bighorn reconstructs the June 1876 clash in which Lakota, Northern Cheyenne and Arapaho warriors defeated part of the U.S. Seventh Cavalry under George Armstrong Custer. It places the battle within the Great Sioux War and the federal campaign to force Indigenous communities onto reservations. The book follows the movements and decisions of both sides before considering how Custer’s defeat became one of the most contested legends of the American West.
