Custer, the Seventh Cavalry, and the Little Big Horn
Author: Mike O'Keefe
Publisher: University of Oklahoma Press
ISBN: 0806188146
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 946
Book Description
Since the shocking news first broke in 1876 of the Seventh Cavalry’s disastrous defeat at the Little Big Horn, fascination with the battle—and with Lieutenant George Armstrong Custer—has never ceased. Widespread interest in the subject has spawned a vast outpouring of literature, which only increases with time. This two-volume bibliography of Custer literature is the first to be published in some twenty-five years and the most complete ever assembled. Drawing on years of research, Michael O’Keefe has compiled entries for roughly 3,000 books and 7,000 articles and pamphlets. Covering both nonfiction and fiction (but not juvenile literature), the bibliography focuses on events beginning with Custer’s tenure at West Point during the 1850s and ending with the massacre at Wounded Knee in 1890. Included within this span are Custer’s experiences in the Civil War and in Texas, the 1873 Yellowstone and 1874 Black Hills expeditions, the Great Sioux War of 1876–77, and the Seventh Cavalry’s pursuit of the Nez Perces in 1877. The literature on Custer, the Battle of the Little Big Horn, and the Seventh Cavalry touches the entire American saga of exploration, conflict, and settlement in the West, including virtually all Plains Indian tribes, the frontier army, railroading, mining, and trading. Hence this bibliography will be a valuable resource for a broad audience of historians, librarians, collectors, and Custer enthusiasts.

Custer, Curley, Curtis
Author: Jack L. Pennington
Publisher: Upton & Sons
ISBN:
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 224
Book Description
"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.

Rosebud, June 17, 1876
Author: Paul L. Hedren
Publisher: University of Oklahoma Press
ISBN: 0806163704
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 664
Book Description
The Battle of the Rosebud may well be the largest Indian battle ever fought in the American West. The monumental clash on June 17, 1876, along Rosebud Creek in southeastern Montana pitted George Crook and his Shoshone and Crow allies against Sioux and Northern Cheyennes under Sitting Bull and Crazy Horse. It set the stage for the battle that occurred eight days later when, just twenty-five miles away, George Armstrong Custer blundered into the very same village that had outmatched Crook. Historian Paul L. Hedren presents the definitive account of this critical battle, from its antecedents in the Sioux campaign to its historic consequences. Rosebud, June 17, 1876 explores in unprecedented detail the events of the spring and early summer of 1876. Drawing on an extensive array of sources, including government reports, diaries, reminiscences, and a previously untapped trove of newspaper stories, the book traces the movements of both Indian forces and U.S. troops and their Indian allies as Brigadier General Crook commenced his second great campaign against the northern Indians for the year. Both Indian and army paths led to Rosebud Creek, where warriors surprised Crook and then parried with his soldiers for the better part of a day on an enormous field. Describing the battle from multiple viewpoints, Hedren narrates the action moment by moment, capturing the ebb and flow of the fighting. Throughout he weighs the decisions and events that contributed to Crook’s tactical victory, and to his fateful decision thereafter not to pursue his adversary. The result is a uniquely comprehensive view of an engagement that made history and then changed its course. Rosebud was at once a battle won and a battle lost. With informed attention to the subtleties and significance of both outcomes, as well as to the fears and motivations on all sides, Hedren has given new meaning to this consequential fight, and new insight into its place in the larger story of the Great Sioux War.
