Description
This book is a first-of-a-kind comprehensive, photographic essay relating to surviving artifacts of Custer and the Battle of the Little Big Horn – some never before published. Years were spent photographing and acquiring artifacts in museums and personal collections, that are presented here in vivid, high-resolution color photographs, shot from more than a few angles with the researcher and collector in mind. The images are catalogued under chapters dedicated to the battle, Custer’s 7th Cavalry, and the Lakota and Cheyenne warriors who fought them. Hundreds of photographic images accompanying the chapters are stuffed with informative descriptions relating to physical properties, history, origin of the items, and the stories at the back of them. This definitive work will provide a valuable resource for military researchers and historians, in addition to an aesthetically stunning photographic essay to go with any collection or library.
