Summary: An excellent first-person account
Comment: This is an excellent first-person account of events leading up to the Battle of the Little Bighorn thru to the burials afterward. The author served under Major Reno and his story added a lot to my understanding of what the soldiers experienced. I have visited the site of the Reno-Benteen Entrenchment and this book added a lot to my appreciation of what it was like to be surrounded by the Indians, awaiting one's own demise.

Rating: 4
Summary: A good book for other reasons
Comment: This monograph by William Taylor is more interesting for the story of its discovery along with the artifacts believed to have been taken from the battlefield, rahter than any new revelations on the Custer Fight. Contrary to the Synopsis by amazon.com, Taylor was NOT a survivor of the Custer Fight, and can adds nothing to what happened to Custer's immediate command. Taylor was assigned to Reno's battalion, and thus participated in the Valley fight and on Renor Hill. Only here and there throught the text are interesting comments made, like his refueling of the Reno drunkeness controversy. This book is more suitable for those who already have a reasonable Custer database, and who therefore can pickout what is useful.
