One of the leading books critical of Custer, published after the death of Mrs. Elizabeth Custer in 1933. A history of Custer's campaign on the southern plains and the Battle of the Washita. With appendices giving the text of official government reports, letters, and official accounts of the battle. Although published in 1938, the author is of the opinion that the battle was more of a massacre than a true battle and that Custer's account is not be trusted. Covers the Washita Battle and includes additional information from other sources including Sheridan's and Custer's official reports. Information on the Sand Creek Massacre, Medicine Lodge Treaty and much more.
