River and the Horsemen: A Novel of the Little Bighorn - Softcover

The most compelling account of the Little Bighorn ever written, this powerfully detailed historical novel vividly recreates the lives of two of the most celebrated military leaders of nineteenth-century North America, General George Armstrong Custer and Chief Sitting Bull. Capturing in rich detail native Sioux spirituality and culture, as well as the history and politics of post-Civil War America, the Battle of the Little Bighorn itself, described in all of its frightening detail, is the riveting climax to an artfully portrayed collision of two civilizations: one reaching for its manifest destiny, one struggling for survival.
