The Day The World Ended At Little Bighorn: A Lakota History
Joseph Marshall III

The Battle at Little Bighorn marked the last stand of General George Custer, who lost a great number of men in his army in the two-day battle with the Lakotan tribe. The popular retelling of the event notes that Gen. Custer suffered from a combination of poor planning and underestimating the number of Lakota. Joseph Marshall III disputes this record and revisits the battle that the Lakotans called The Greasy Grass Fight. Mr. Mashall contends that Gen. Custer and his men were defeated by a highly skilled and better trained army. The author places the battle within the greater context of American westward expansion and Native American history.

Joseph Marshall III is the author of seven other books including "The Lakota Way: Stories and Lessons for Living" and "The Journey of Crazy Horse: A Lakota History." He was raised on the Rosebud Sioux Indian Reservation and his first language is Lakota.

1. thank you for letting us know

I'll try to figure out what time it is on where I live and tape it.

I know it is a very tragic, sad, despicable history, but I'll watch it anyway.

:kick:

3. Hi, I watched that on Sunday. And now I have the book on hold at library.

Of course, it takes a donkey cart to deliver the books in my town so it might take a couple months. Then again, I have a coupon for Barnes and Noble so maybe I'll just buy one since I have quite a collection of American Native books.
