A propos de cet article

The myth of "Custer's Last Stand" has been perpetuated and reinforced for over a century. Now, using both innovative and standard archaeological techniques combined with historical documents and Indian eyewitness accounts, Richard Allan Fox Jr replays the Custer battle in detail with surprising results. Through bullets, spent cartridges, and other material data, Fox identifies combat positions and tracks soldiers and Indians across the battle-field. Guided by the history beneath our feet, and listening to the previously ignored Indian testimonies, he reveals scenes of panic and collapse and, ultimately, a story of the Custer battle quite different from the fatalistic versions of history.
