This ground-breaking study brings to life the appearance, experiences and military careers of the Plains Indians who took on Custer's 7th Cavalry at the battle of the Little Big Horn. Portrait photos, surviving artefacts, and reconstructions of pictographs bring to life the Sioux, Cheyenne and Arapaho warriors of 1876. The author has been able to uncover specific details relating to some individual warriors, including details of the warrior societies to which individual men belonged, the colour of their horses, what weapons they carried, and where on the battlefield they fought.
