Preface
Someone reading from among the many published accounts of the battle at the Little Bighorn may wonder what happened to the Sioux warriors who fought and then disappeared as soon as the dust had settled from the clear Montana air. The origins of the war for the Northern Plains in 1876 have already been described in detail; the steady encroachment of white civilization on the Black Hills is a good example of just what was wrong with United States-Native American affairs in the nineteenth century, and it has been cited often enough. The military operations in the Yellowstone River valley that summer have been subjected to successive waves of mythologizing and demythologizing for over a hundred years.
