On a scorching June Sunday in 1876, thousands of Indian warriors -
Lakota Sioux, Cheyenne and Arapaho - converged on a grassy ridge
above the valley of Montana's Little Bighorn River. On the ridge
five companies of United States cavalry - 262 soldiers, comprising
officers and troopers - fought desperately but hopelessly. When the
guns fell silent, no soldier - including their commanding officer,
Lt Col. George Armstrong Custer - had survived. Custer's Last Stand
is among the most enduring events in American history - 130 years
after the fact, books continue to be written and people continue to
argue about even the most basic details surrounding the Little
Bighorn. Evan S. Connell, whom Joyce Carol Oates has described as
'one of our most interesting and intelligent American writers',
wrote what continues to be the most reliable - and compulsively
readable - account of the subject. Connell makes good use of his
research and novelist's eye for story and detail to re-create the
heroism, foolishness and savagery of this crucial chapter in the
history of the West.
