The Day the World Ended at Little Bighorn: A Lakota History

The author of The Journey of Crazy Horse presents a legendary battle through the eyes of the Lakota

The saga of “Custer’s Last Stand” has become ingrained in the lore of the American West, and the key players—Crazy Horse, Sitting Bull, and George Armstrong Custer—have grown to larger-than-life proportions. Now, award-winning historian Joseph M. Marshall presents the revisionist view of the Battle of the Little Bighorn that has been available only in the Lakota oral tradition. Drawing on this rich source of storytelling, Marshall uncovers what really took place at the Little Big Horn and provides fresh insight into the significance of that bloody day.
