About this title

Synopsis

SINCE 1986, Digging into Custer s Last Stand has been our most popular book year-in and year-out among students of the Little Bighorn battle and among tourists who visit the Montana battlefield each year. In 1998, we issued a revised edition which proved equally popular among those who study the Little Bighorn. It updated work of National Park Service archeologists at Little Bighorn Battlefield and scientific inquiries at two other Custer sites. Now we are proud to announce the release of the third edition of Digging into Custer s Last Stand. It includes a new chapter detailing the history and construction of the new Indian Memorial at Little Bighorn as well as the horse cemetery marker. Earlier sections of the book have been re-edited in places and new photos have been added. This book continues to offer a well-written, non-technical summary of all the battlefield digs since the early 1980s that have impacted how historians and buffs interpret action at Little Bighorn.
