Custer's Scouts at the Little Bighorn: The Arikara Narrative
Would you be surprised to know that along with Custer's 7th Cavalry on the way to the Little Bighorn rode scores of Native American scouts employed by the army?
Considered one of the most important source documents for the study of the Battle of the Little Bighorn (Custer's Last Stand), the Arikara Narrative is a fascinating account of this seminal event. No scholar of the Little Bighorn conflict omits this book from their bibliography.
George Armstrong Custer rode to the Little Bighorn with Arikara and Crow scouts, and even the half-Sioux legend, Mitch Bouyer. Of this group, nine survivors were interviewed in 1912. Their accounts of the battle were carefully translated and then published in 1920.
This immensely interesting and important work is available for the first time for e-readers and smartphones for less than you'd spend on gas going to the library.
