Editorial Reviews

Review

"Compelling reading . . . Lakota Recollections is based on the common-sense notion that historians should consult [Lakota and Cheyenne] warriors' comments about the Battle of the Little Bighorn."-Old West (Old West )

"[Hardorff's] editing manages to put these often contradictory accounts into their proper perspectives."-Little Big Horn Associates Newsletter (Little Big Horn Associates Newsletter )

"The collection [gives] a compelling description of the battle scene [and] coherence to the chaotic events that surrounded the conflict."-Los Angeles Westerners Corral (Los Angeles Westerners Corral )


Product Description

The fifteen Sioux (and one Cheyenne) who speak in Lakota Recollections of the Custer Fight witnessed Custer’s Last Stand. Their testimony sheds light on what happened at the Little Bighorn on the bloodiest of Sundays, June 25, 1876. Flying Hawk, Standing Bear, He Dog, Red Feather, Moving Robe Woman, Eagle Elk, White Bull, Hollow Horn Bear, and other Indian survivors of the Custer fight were interviewed during the early decades of the twentieth century by men genuinely interested in the historical truth, including Judge Eli S. Ricker, General Hugh L. Scott, John G. Neihardt, and Walter S. Campbell. The interviews are collected here with introductions and notes by the editor.

5.0 out of 5 stars Another Hardorff Triumph of Research and Writing, May 8, 2005
Written by a long-time student of the Little Big Horn, a gifted writer who is sympathetic to the Indians, this is another of this author's great contributions to the understanding of that event. Sprightly writing is so necessary and you will find it here, just as in CUSTER, TERRY AND ME, a creative (semi) nonfiction coverage of the tragedy of June 25, 1876. The latter was hailed by premier Custer Publisher and historian Richard Upton as worthy of the notice of scholars, and I'm sure he'd say the same of this book, since the author is a scholar of note in his field.

Highly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars Inciteful & Passionate Recount of a Very Misunderstood Event, June 23, 1999
By A Customer
Richard "Dutch" Hardorff is one of the most thorough and objective students of General Custer's "last stand". His love of the truth and respect for the Indian tribes and their homeland is inspiring. His writing is captivating and fresh, especially considering the extensive treatment of the subject. Mr. Hardorff provides a lively and thought-provoking perspective that one would never get from the 'history' books. Truly an exceptional book and consistent with his fine other writings.
