Hit the snow running with this new inside view of the well-known conflict. Although the Little Bighorn is well served by Indian-sourced books, the Washita has mainly been reported as a military encounter. The Author here takes a view from the valley floor, aided by rare and previously unpublished text and photographs.
Harrison says of the military accounts: ' If you describe only the attack in a chess game, it leads to the presumption that the opposition is similarly ranked against you.'
