The Custer enigma that has piqued the interest of historians and engendered endless controversy for more than a century--when, how, and under what circumstances did Lieutenant General George A. Custer and his Seventh Cavalry troops die at the Battle of Little Big Horn, June 25, 1876--is largely put to rest by this exciting, pathbreaking book. Based on meticulous historical scholarship and thorough archaeological study of the battlefield, Fox has demonstrated how the patterned findings of shells, bullets, and other artifacts of the battle allow for an incontrovertible reconstruction of the events of that fateful day. Significantly, the resulting interpretation confirms eyewitness accounts of the battle that have for so long been downplayed by serious Custer scholars--the stories related by Native American participants who were the only survivors to witness the demise of Custer's immediate command. More generally, the book provides a model for the ways in which archaeological and documentary data can be integrated for a fuller picture of past events. Recommended for general, undergraduate, and professional readers. D. R. Parks; Indiana University-Bloomington

Fox (anthropology, Univ. of South Dakota), one of the principal investigators of the archaeological remains of the Custer battlefield, combines an analysis of his investigations with the primary historical record to provide a detailed account of the Custer battle. He builds his case carefully, explaining the methods and objectives of archaeology before reviewing and interpreting the record. Rather than upholding the myth of a determined group fighting against overwhelming odds, Fox shows that Custer's defeat resulted from the sudden disintegration of tactical stability--there was no ``last stand.'' Fox provides a framework in which history and archaeology as equal partners can be used to analyze battles; his results are clear and accessible to the lay reader as well as the specialist. This landmark study renders obsolete previous accounts. Essential for academic libraries and collections on the West and military history.-- Stephen H. Peters, Northern Michigan Univ.
