Major Marcus Reno's actions at the Battle of Little Big Horn have
been both criticized and lauded, often without in-depth analysis.
This book takes a fresh look at the battle and events leading up to
it, offering answers to unanswered questions. The author examines
the meanings of "orders" given in Custer's command and how they
were treated, the tactics and fighting in the valley, Reno's
alcoholism, and his last stand on the hilltop named for him.
The Battle of the Little Big Horn was the decisive engagement of
the Great Sioux War of 1876-1877. In its second edition this
biographical dictionary of all known participants-the 7th Cavalry,
civilians and Indians--provides a brief description of the battle,
as well as information on the various tribes, their customs and
methods of fighting. Seven appendices cover the units soldiers were
assigned to, uniforms and equipment of the cavalry, controversial
listings of scouts and the number of Indians in the encampments,
the location of camps on the way to the Big Horn and more. Updated
biographies are provided for many European soldiers, along with an
additional 5,060 names of Indians who were or could have been in
the battle.
