Stricken Field: The Little Bighorn Since 1876
Jerome A. Greene

University of Oklahoma Press, 2008

Jerome Greene's Magnum Opus of the History of the Little Bighorn Battlefield
"I think the government can do no less than to give these remains decent burial, by putting them in coffins, and remove them to some suitable place....It is hard for me to understand how the remains of the officers could be in condition for removal....while those of ...
  
  











  



  
Buford the Little Bighorn
Bill Peet

Houghton Mifflin, 1983

A Family Classic
This book was my husband's favorite book in the 60s when he was in elementary school. Now we read it to our children, along with many other Bill Peet books. We love the illustrations, plots and rhymes in Bill Peet's books. Buford is a sweet and innocent mountain ...
  
  











  



  
The Mystery of E Troop: Custer's Gray Horse Company at the Little Bighorn
Gregory Michno

Mountain Press Publishing Company, 1994

excellent read
I have only recently begun reading on Custer and the Little Big Horn. I started with Dr. Fox's work and I have been reading backwords as much as I can. Michno's work is excellent and offers many new views on Custer and the battle and I am sure his views will stur up ...

W. W. Norton, 2007

a lot of army vs indians history

The Day the World Ended at Little Bighorn: A Lakota History
Joseph M. Marshall III

Viking Adult, 2007

Little Big Horn - the rest of the story
This book is very well written and researched. Author is obviously native, but tells the tale without rancor and name calling. An intelligent approach to filling in the blanks. Well told with pride and empathy. I highly recommend this book.
  
  











  



  
Archaeological Perspectives on the Battle of Little Bighorn
Douglas D. Scott, Richard A. Fox, ...

University of Oklahoma Press, 2000

Historically Significant
Even though I know all the writers of this book, I'm still NOT biased when I say that Scotts, et al book has changed interpretation dramatically on the Little Bighorn fight. Having worked at the Little Bighorn Battlefield as an interpreter in 1985, I personally know ...
  
  











  



  
Where Custer Fell: Photographs of the Little Bighorn Battlefield Then and Now
James S. Brust, Brian C. Pohanka, ...

University of Oklahoma Press, 2007

Fantastic "Then and Now" photographs and stories
I consider this an outstanding piece of work. For anyone who love early photography and comparing historical photographs with contemporary views, this is great work. Resulting in many hours of field work and re-photographing the areas in modern times, many historical ...
  
  











  



  
Son of the Morning Star: Custer and The Little Bighorn
Evan S. Connell

North Point Press, 1997

A Captivating Read
Those who study the Little Big Horn battle seem to fall into two camps where this work is concerned, some love it for it literary style, others loath it as it doesn't adhere to a strict timeline in recounting the events preceding and encompassing the battle. Instead, ...
  
  











  



  
A Terrible Glory: Custer and the Little Bighorn - the Last Great Battle of the American West
James Donovan

Little, Brown and Company, 2008

Wonderful History, Well Delivered
James Donovan clearly set out to thread a needle. He tried to write a completely fair and honest retelling of the 7th Calvary's defeat at the Little Big Horn and the death of George Armstrong Custer. He carefully lays out the past history of all the important ...

Little Bighorn Remembered: The Untold Indian Story of Custer's Last Stand
Herman J. Viola

Crown, 1999

A major work.
In general I'm not really big on modern history (my notion of "modern" being everything after 1200 BC!), but Viola's book "Little Bighorn Remembered," featured as it was as the "untold Indian story of Custer's last stand," intrigued me. I have to admit to having had ...
  
  











  



  
Ancient Visions: Petroglyphs and Pictographs of the Wind River and Bighorn Country, Wyoming and Montana
Julie Francis, Lawrence L Loendorf

University of Utah Press, 2004

Five Stars All The Way
This text is a great academic source for the serious study (as opposed to 'those Indians did some nice art') of petroglyphs and pictographs in general, and more specifically for the key sites in Wyoming and near Billings. The writing is clear, concise and precise. ...
  
  











  



  
Custer and the Little Bighorn

Custer and Little Bighorn is the first major illustrated book to examine the life of this complex figure and this equally complex battle that would forever change history. Lavishly illustrated with many rare illustrations, it?s also the first photographic history of the man and his Civil War exploits. In Custer and Little Bighorn historian Jim ...
  
  











  



  
They Died With Custer: Soldiers' Bones from the Battle of the Little Bighorn

University of Oklahoma Press, 2002

A Very Thorough and Precise Study
Among all of the books I have on the archeaology of the Little Bighorn, my library would not be complete with out this one concerning the findings from those digs. It is well written. It is very technical and not the kind of book a causual reader would enjoy. It ...
