Troopers with Custer : historic incidents of the Battle of the Little Big Horn

Brininstool, E. A. (Earl Alonzo) 1870-1957 (Author).

Summary: No one survived in Custer's immediate command, but other soldiers fighting in the Battle of the Little Big Horn on June 25-26, 1876, were doomed to remember the nightmarish scene for decades after. Their true and terrible stories are included in Troopers with Custer. Some of the veterans who corresponded with E. A. Brininstool were still alive when his book first appeared in a shortened version in 1925.
