About this listen
On the sparkling morning of June 25, 1876, 611 men of the US 7th Cavalry 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. Both were men of aggression and supreme courage. Both became leaders in their societies at very early ages; both were stripped of power, in disgrace, and 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.

An exhaustive and sympathetic story
I found this story to be excellent. The author told her detailed and sympathetic story of each participant in the great Sioux Wars. My respect for both Custer and Crazy Horse increased many fold. Benteen and Reno were portrayed in more sympathetic light as true officers in the army. The Indians of this story were portrayed not as monsters or heroes but rather as humans with differing opinions. Over All I felt essential honesty and this retelling.

Couldn't wait to get back to it.
I sincerely enjoyed this book. Stephen did a fantastic job of keeping it interesting and easy to follow. I also enjoyed telling my wife some of the funny Sioux names such as:
1. Old Man afraid of his horses
2. They are afraid of her
3. Plenty lice
I'd highly recommend it.
