This review is from: Bugles Banners And War Bonnets (Hardcover)

Written about 50 years after the battle, Reedstrom included a remarkable number of photos and illustrations in his book. He injects wit and insight between lots of mater of fact technical material as he led us up to the battle by the middle of the book. The second half, catalogs uniforms, tactic manuals, horsemanship, and weapons. He concludes a rather objective view of the "Red Man" including a lesson in Indian sign language for over 150 words. This book is worth having on your Custer shelf.
