Abstract:
For many years, most white Americans only saw the battle as a symbol of "the best" -- of George Armstrong Custer's heroic sacrifice for the cause of empire. New scholarship, new investigative techniques, but mostly the growing Native American insistence on inclusion in the Little Bighorn story has made this conventional interpretation of the battle hopelessly outmoded. By bringing together a broad spectrum of scholarly voices, this collection of essays moves us toward a new, more inclusive explanation of the Battle of the Little Bighorn.
