In 1876 the most famous Cavalry and Indian battle in American frontier history was fought. What happened to the 7th Cavalry? How did they vanish so utterly and with such stunning swiftness? History has come up with many answers but Tom Ballard was the only eye-witness, and for this reason, during the official inquiry into the defeat, his life is in jeopardy. Fear, folly, suspicion, terror, and distrust combined to bring about the tragedy of the Little Big Horn, and it will be impossible for anyone to read this story and continue to think the same way about this epic battle.
