During the Battle of the Little Bighorn, 17 Canadians stood by Lieutenant-Colonel Custers side.
There were 17 Canadians present when Lieutenant-Colonel George Armstrong Custer made his last stand in the battle at Little Bighorn River in 1876. Some had served in the Civil War, some were close friends or admirers of Custer, and some were mercenaries who just wanted a job with adventure.
William Winer Cooke, the scion of two prominent wealthy families in Upper Canada, became Custers right-hand man. Mark Kellogg, a Canadian-American, was a journalist who joined the expedition by chance and documented the adventure in newspaper articles sent back east. Sitting Bull and Crazy Horse were among the leaders of the Sioux and Cheyenne nations victorious warriors in this desperate attempt to save their lands from the white invasion.
Canadians with Custer tells the stories of the Canadians who joined the 7th Cavalry Regiment of the United States Army and provides new information on Custers fatal battle.

Acknowledgements
A n author of historical work often peers over the shoulders of librarians, archivists, historians, and history buffs to gain an insight into the subject, leans on them to obtain help in searching for information. I want to acknowledge a number of people who allowed me to do just that. They passed along their knowledge freely and with good will.
Diane Merkel of the Little Bighorn History Alliance and members of the Alliance were instrumental in throwing me into all things Custer good or bad. Marie Wright of Belleville Public Library helped with my research requests, no matter how arcane.
Dave Schafer, Washita Battlefield National Historic Site, Cheyenne, Oklahoma, and Bonnie Whitecloud of the Manataka American Indian Council, Hot Springs, Arizona, were important sources regarding aboriginal history of the southern plains. I want to thank Diana Everett of the Oklahoma Historical Society for permission to use information from her history of Chief Black Kettle.
Karl Katafiasz and Charmaine Wawrzyniec, Monroe County Library, Ellis Reference and Information Centre, Monroe, Michigan, were ever helpful with Custer references. Others who provided help along the way include: Zoe Ann Stoltz, Historical Society of Montana; Margaret Houghton, Hamilton Public Library; Jamie Serran, Yarmouth County Museum and Archives, Yarmouth, Nova Scotia; Bill Stevens, St. Catharines Historical Society; Mike OByrne, Heritage Mount Pleasant; Ralph Laviolette, Huron County Historical Society (Walton); Dakota Goodhouse and Al Johnson, Fort Abraham Lincoln Foundation, North Dakota; John Doerner and Jerry Jasmer, National Park Service, Little Bighorn Battlefield National Monument; Ron Pickard, Little Big Horn Associates; author Steve Arnold; and the many who helped with the photo hunt.
And, as always, a thank you to my reader, Emily Stassen Cramer.
