Synopsis "Remembering Long Hair: Contextualizing Custer's Last Stand in Historical and Geographical Realities (in English)"
This full color 4th edition of the 8"X10" book brings the topography of the battlefield into light utilizing the myriad of participant accounts. The text is the same size as the 6x9 version, to keep the page count down for a lower cost, yet allowing for larger illustrations. It graphically illustrates movements and actions by means of illustrative color photographs and delineated maps of specific terrain areas on the battlefield as determined by reports. The narrative begins by recalling the the perplexity of Custer's public persona; then in addresses the contextual setting of critical events that led to the now seeming mythic encounter. It cites important incidents related to the opening of the campaign that eventually placed the Seventh Cavalry with the Dakota Column as they moved across the northern plains to the Little Bighorn basin. Guided by common sense, using geographic and archaeological evidences and numerous illustrations, the narrative unravels the apparent puzzle of battle participant reports. It weaves a descriptive tapestry of movements, actions and phases relating to Native American participants and members of that unfortunate battalion. For the sake of erudition, chapters are divided into separate phases, though most were overlapping, and in some cases concurrent with others in time. It also includes two import appendices: They both deal with an important witness to the battle, Crow Scout Curley. The first focuses on his creditability: "Curley's Quandary" related to the battle; the second provides a Composite Narrative of his Little Bighorn Battle reports.
