Download or read book The Little Big Horn, 1876 written by Loyd J. Overfield and published by U of Nebraska Press. This book was released on 1990-01-01 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Noting that the documents pertaining to the Battle of the Little Big Horn are often garbled in editing and quoted out of context, Loyd J. Overfield set out to compile the original orders, letters, and telegrams that put a great fighting machine into motion and soon conveyed the shock of its destruction. Far more readable than today's official documents, they carry the sound of individual voices and clearly state the circumstances surrounding Custer's fall. The communications of this collection begin with Custer's successful plea to President Grant, who in a fit of pique had originally forbidden him to join his regiment in fighting the hostile Indians. A series of carefully spelled-out field orders is followed by a letter from Major Marcus Reno asking for medical aid for his wounded men after two days of fighting. Included are dispatches from Reno, Gen. Alfred H. Terry, Col. John Gibbon, Capt. Frederick Benteen, and Capt. E.W. Smith. The rosters of officers and enlisted men who fought at the Little Big Horn will be of interest to Custer buffs and historians and also to family genealogists trying to trace ancestors who made history there. Overfield has provided primary sources that amount to a detailed postmortem of events from participants only too aware that history would ask questions.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.

Book excerpt: "Author Jack Pennington became aware of new evidence that supports his previous views on the Battle of the Little Big Horn. Many of these views have been contrary to general accepted beliefs about this epic event. James S. Hutchins' book The papers of Edward S. Curtis relating to Custer's Last Battle, a speech by Michael Reynolds delivered to the Western Writers of America in 1975 in Billings, Montana, and a recently discovered map in which Crow Scout Curley recorded his exit from the Custer battlefield on June 25, 1876, all reinforced Pennington's rationale for writing another book on the battle. In Custer, Curley, Curtis : an expanded view of the Battle of the Little Big Horn, Jack Pennington addresses and expands upon his thesis. A critical and more extensive analysis of the Edward S. Curtis Papers, a deeper insight into the battlefield scenario, and a fresh new evaluation of the Benteen-Goldin Letters, are included as well as his timetable of the events of June 25, 1876. Also in this volume 9 of the Custer Trails Series, appendices provide previously unpublished material that supports the author's research"--Jacket.

Download or read book A Terrible Glory written by James Donovan and published by Little, Brown. This book was released on 2008-03-24 with total page 544 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In June of 1876, on a desolate hill above a winding river called "the Little Bighorn," George Armstrong Custer and all 210 men under his direct command were annihilated by almost 2,000 Sioux and Cheyenne. The news of this devastating loss caused a public uproar, and those in positions of power promptly began to point fingers in order to avoid responsibility. Custer, who was conveniently dead, took the brunt of the blame. The truth, however, was far more complex. A TERRIBLE GLORY is the first book to relate the entire story of this endlessly fascinating battle, and the first to call upon all the significant research and findings of the past twenty-five years--which have changed significantly how this controversial event is perceived. Furthermore, it is the first book to bring to light the details of the U.S. Army cover-up--and unravel one of the greatest mysteries in U.S. military history. Scrupulously researched, A TERRIBLE GLORY will stand as ta landmark work. Brimming with authentic detail and an unforgettable cast of characters--from Sitting Bull and Crazy Horse to Ulysses Grant and Custer himself--this is history with the sweep of a great novel.

Book excerpt: The Battle of the Little Bighorn remains one of history’s most famous and most controversial events. Lieutenant Colonel George Custer, Crazy Horse, Sitting Bull, the Seventh Cavalry, the Sioux, and the Cheyenne were all there on June 25th, 1876. This battle, which was a shocking disaster for the U.S. army and a triumph for Native Americans, continues to fascinate us more than 125 years later. Often when people are shocked by an unexpected event, they want to understand exactly why and how it happened. In the case of the Battle of the Little Bighorn, these questions have yet to be answered completely satisfactorily, due to the lack of totally definitive evidence regarding some of the details. As a result, some controversy still surrounds the battle. A Day to Remember introduces the reader to the many aspects of this battle. The author makes use of eyewitness testimony, battle analyses, Custer’s personality traits, and a comparison with other disasters, in order to give the reader a basic understanding of the battle and to provide a basis for further exploration of this fascinating historic event.
