About this product

Product Information

The full story of what led Crazy Horse and Custer to that fateful day at the Little Bighorn, from bestselling historian Stephen E. Ambrose. On the sparkling morning of June 25, 1876, 611 U.S. Army soldiers rode toward the banks of the Little Bighorn in the Montana Territory, where 3,000 Indians stood waiting for battle. The lives of two great warriors would soon be forever linked throughout history: Crazy Horse, leader of the Oglala Sioux, and General George Armstrong Custer of the Seventh Cavalry. Both were men of aggression and supreme courage. Both had become leaders in their societies at very early ages; both had been stripped of power, and in disgrace had worked to earn back the respect of their people. And to both of them, the unspoiled grandeur of the Great Plains of North America was an irresistible challenge. Their parallel lives would pave the way, in a manner unknown to either, for an inevitable clash between two nations fighting for possession of the open prairie.

Item was as shown, Packing was in great condition. Shipping took a bit longer than anticipated. Maybe due to holiday traffic but took a bit longer than hoped for. The seller was very communicative with the problem and didn't mind bundling the two items I purchased from them together. Would buy from them but wouldn't be hopeful with shipping times. Nothing wrong on the seller's part. The shipping company is where my gripe is at.

  • Ambrose at his best

    What's there to say? It's Stephen Ambrose. He was the best history author to write a book!!! That's my opinion anyway. This book like so many other's he wrote is a very in depth look at an important and compelling part of history. Nothing was left out, he studied every possible angle of the story and told it beautifully. Nothing more needs to be said.

  • The Men and Their Cultures.

    Well written description of not just the men but how they were shaped by their cultures.
