Killing Custer: The Battle of Little Bighorn and the Fate of the Plains Indians
“The Great Spirit must have created James Welch so that he could tell of the Little Bighorn from the viewpoint of the tribes that fought there.” (Dee Brown, author of Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee)“For those who many wonder about the 'Custer Had It Coming' bumper stickers they see in the West, James Welch provides the answer, in a book which reads with the same poetic prose that has made his novels American classics.” (Tony Hillerman)“A moving and thoughtful meditation on the history of America's wars of conquest and dispossession, and on the necessity—and the difficulty—of recovering that history, and making it a part of living memory for modern-day Indians and whites.” (Richard Slotkin, author of Gunfighter Nation)
