The Mysteries Continue - by David B Macnab (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

Behold "Custer's Last Stand" through the eyes of the only survivors in this comprehensive analysis of an American battle still shrouded in mystery.

On June 25th, 1876, Lieutenant Colonel George Armstrong Custer led twelve companies of the 7th Cavalry to an attack on a large Sioux and Cheyenne Indian village in southeastern Montana. The result of this action was a shocking defeat for the U.S. Army and an outstanding, albeit short lived, victory for the Indians. The surprising result of the Battle of the Little Bighorn, also known as "Custer's Last Stand," was simply unheard of at the time. Coupled with the fact that there were no surviving cavalry witnesses to report what happened in middle phase of the conflict, this historic battle remains shrouded in mystery to this day.

There is much we still don't know about the Battle of the Little Bighorn but what do we know? In The Mysteries Continue, American history buff, David B. MacNab clarifies what we know about the Battle of the Little Bighorn and what elements of the day's events we have yet to understand. Featuring highlights from eyewitness accounts gleaned from extensive research, the book examines the testimonies of those who did survive to offer an unfiltered view of one of the most significant victories of the Native American tribes during the Great Sioux War of 1876. An enthralling read for history enthusiasts and those with a passing interest alike, the book separates fact from myth, illuminating one of the most fascinating battles enshrined in American lore.
