Osprey's illustrated examination of a controversial battle of the American Indian Wars (1775-1918). In the valley of the Little Big Horn, the death of George A. Custer, and over half of his 7th Cavalry Regiment on 25 July 1876, has become the most celebrated battle of the Indian Wars. It was the greatest, and the last, victory of the Native Americans over the United States military. Disobeying orders, Custer followed a trail to a large encampment of Indians and, without determining the numbers he faced split his command into three groups and attacked. In the resulting chaos Custer and more than half the troops under his command were killed. Author Peter Panzeri Illustrated by Richard Hook. Has never been opened, tight margins. Size 7x10".
