Product Description

Walter M. Camp (1867-1925) was an indefatigable collector of Custeriana who set himself the intimidating task of interviewing every living survivor of the battle at the Little Bighorn. Unfortunately, with Camp's death this information was scattered. This volume gathers his most important material, much of which was not previously available. Custer and Company presents information on Sergeant John Henley, veteran trooper of the Seventh Cavalry, and a number of other Seventh Cavalrymen and frontiersmen, including interpreter Sam Bruguier; Camp's research on various unsettled questions of the Little Bighorn fight; interviews with several surviving Indians and famed scout Luther North; and extensive information on the death of Crazy Horse.

4.0 out of 5 stars Interviews Add New Light on Several Topics, January 8, 2000
By Daniel Hurley (Chesapeake, VA.) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)      
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
Reading Camp's intervies makes you wish he had a chance to write the definitive book on Custer and the LBH. The accounts are a little rambling because they are based on Camp's original notes. The interviews highlight conflicts between some of the notable but challengable LBH testimonies. The interviews also reveal information about the retreat from Weir Point, the mystery rider in C Company found miles from the battlefield on the Rosebud, first hand accounts of the death of Crazy Horse, information on "White hat" (Lt. Phillo Clark) and a virtual biography on Luther North who demonstrated great success utilizing Pawnee tribesmen as soildiers and scouts. The footnotes provided by the editors provide a terrific resource of information that more than adds to the Camp's notes, almost like having two books in one.

5.0 out of 5 stars A superb and accurate account of the Little Big Horn events, March 22, 2000
By Ironmike (California) - See all my reviews
One of the finest accounts of the Custer fight. I would recommend this book over most of the others. Mr. Camp sought out survivors and interviewed them, he sheds some fresh light on many of the confusing issues. And he details some very interesting items of the actual fight itself. Excellent and has a place of honor on my book shelf. Check it out, you won't be disappointed.

4.0 out of 5 stars Caution: misleading title!, May 13, 2002
By A Customer
This book has a misleading title. This is a small short book, and only a part of it is actually about the Little Bighorn (LBH) fight. Other parts of the book are interviews Camp conducted concerning the Yellowstone expedition, the Little Bighorn aftermath, the death of Crazy Horse, the Powder River expedition, and the Battle of Summit Springs. Do not buy this if you expect Walter Camp's complete notes on the Custer fight. Get Kenneth Hammer's "Custer in 76" if you want a far more complete set of LBH interviews strictly concerned with that subject. This book contains some of Camp's notes not included in Hammer's book.

This book is recommended however for its extensive highly informative footnotes. There are very nearly more footnotes than text, and therein is a wealth of information about the people and events in the 1866-78 era.

This has to be the worst book I have read so far on Custer andthe Little Big Horn Battle. Big print, wide margins make this book inmy mind a money grab. Read more
