From the author of:The ABC's of Custer's Last Stand: Arrogance, Betrayal, and Cowardice. ISBN 0-912783-38-9, 2004The Original Handwritten Transcript of the Reno Court of Inquiry ISBN 978-0-615-23576-9, 2008This work is the product of five years of extensive research, the culmination of which debunks a story that has been held as fact for over 135 years. It clearly establishes Sergeant Daniel A. Kanipe was not a messenger sent back by Lt. Colonel Custer and neither carried nor delivered a message to or for any officer of the 7th United States Cavalry. Upon learning the truth, every battle student will have to revise their theory of how the Battle of the Little Big Horn began, what actions Lt Colonel Custer took in the early stages of the battle, and expurgate from their concept of the battle all the bogus tales told by Sergeant Daniel A. Kanipe. Contained within this book are over 25 letters from Daniel A. Kanipe to Walter Mason Camp and nine photographs of Daniel A. Kanipe and the Little Big Horn Battlefield all of which are believed to be previously unpublished.
