<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>In his first nonfiction work, the author of The Death of Jim Loney and The Indian Lawyer poignantly resurrects the Plains Indians' side of the story of the Little Bighorn from beneath a mountain of myth and misinterpretation, revamping the meaning of the conflict for a multicultural society. Photos.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Custer's ill-fated attack on June 25, 1876, has gone down as the American military's most catastrophic defeat. This historic and personal work tells the Native American side, poignant revealing how disastrous the encounter was for the victors, the last great gathering of Plains Indians under the leadership of Sitting Bull. Telling of the pride and desperation of a people systematically stripped of their treaty rights, hounded from their ancestral hunting grounds, and herded into wretched reservations, <em>Killing Custer</em> reveals how this defining moment in American history was no more a Last Stand than a final celebration of waning power and freedom.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>The Great Spirit must have created James Welch so that he could tell of the Little Bighorn from the viewpoint of the tribes that fought there.--Dee Brown, author of Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee<br>
