This first book.length history of the battle has long been accepted
as the most comprehensive and accurate account.
First published in 1926 and respected ever since for its measured
view of the most famous battle in the American West, "The Story of
the Little Big Horn" asks questions that are still being debated.
What were the causes of the debacle that wiped out Custer's
command? Was it due to lack of a definite battle plan? To lack of
correct information about the number, organization, and equipment
of the Indians? To Custer's hot-headedness and thirst for glory? To
Reno's alleged cowardice? To Benteen's delay in providing
reinforcement? In his factual but dramatic account, W. A. Graham
suggests that an awesome concatenation of attitudes and
circumstances ensured the defeat of the Seventh Cavalry. On that
Sunday in June 1876, the Indians were simply better (though not
braver) soldiers.
