Publisher's Summary

The Battle of Little Bighorn in Montana in 1876 has become known as the quintessential clash of cultures between the Lakota Sioux and whites. The men who led the battle, Crazy Horse, Sitting Bull, and Colonel George A. Custer, have become the stuff of legends.

Here, award-winning Lakota historian Joseph M. Marshall III reveals the nuanced complexities that led up to and followed the battle. Until now, this account has been available only within the Lakota oral tradition. The Day the World Ended at Little Bighorn is required listening for anyone enthralled by the tale of the encounter that changed the scope of both America and the American landscape.

Compelling

An excellent insight to challenges the Sioux faced and how that is still with them today. Yet it is a story of triumph, and changed my view of the people.

Starts strong

This book starts strong, but quickly becomes a rant about the right to bear arms.

I did manage to finish it.
