| "As a glaring media spotlight continues to play on General Custer and the Battle of the Little Bighorn, here is a truly outstanding contribution to knowledge and understanding. In a superbly organized symposium in 1994, an array of talented specialists offered new findings and fresh perspectives. Their presentations are here assembled in a finely crafted book that sheds new light on both history and legend. it is certain to be counted among the few works basic to perceiving the context, the event, and the legacy of the Little Bighorn"  - Robert M.
