Description: "General George Armstrong Custer led his Seventh US Cavalry into Sitting Bull's trap at the upper crossing of the Little Big Horn one summer afternoon in 1876. Here ride White Bull, Black Shield, Hump, Crow King and Gall the Magnificent and, wildest of them all, Crazy Horse. And here ride rash 'Yellow Hair' Custer and his gallant Gray Horse troopers into a fate awaiting them through eight hard snows of Indian memory. For the real story of the little Big Horn begins a thousand bitter miles southward in a drift of burning tipi ashes and the smell of sudden Indian death on the banks of another stream, the Washita. There, in November 1868, Custer and his Seventh Cavalry murdered the sleeping village of the peace chief Black Kettle, the crime for which they were brought to justice in faraway Montana."
