Title: Archaeological Insights into the Custer Battle: An Assessment of the 1984 Field Season/With Map by Douglas D. Scott, Richard A. Fox, Dick Harmon ISBN: 0-8061-2065-7 Publisher: Univ of Oklahoma Pr (Trd) Pub. Date: June, 1987 Format: Paperback Volumes: 1 List Price(USD): $17.95 |
Average Customer Rating: 3.57 (7 reviews)
Rating: 5
Summary: It sheds new light on the battle
Comment: This is an excellent book because it cuts through the partisan pro Custer, anti Custer views that are the main theme in almost all the books about the battle written to date. I highly recommend all the books written by Fox on this subject because he has no pre conceived ideas or biases. He bases his interpretations on the physical evidence remaining at the site and draws his conclusions from that evidence.
Rating: 4
Summary: Archaeological evidence paints the picture
Comment: Reading accounts of the Battle of the Little Bighorn sometimes leaves a mass of confusion to the reader. Even visitation to the site does not always enable oneself to clearly picture the events of that day. This book, which does not attempt to explain why things happened does much to set the scene and completes the picture that is painted by the numerous accounts of what happened. The reader may find this book to be dry, perhaps repetitious in some place, but in the end, will appreciate the information that is provided. Be aware that reading this book will forever cause the reader to imediately reject any printed material on The Battle of the Bighorn, that is not properly (and correctly) researched. This book is a good reference for any library.

Summary: Excellent study of archaeological remains on the LBH
Comment: I don't understand where most of these previous reviewers are coming from. This is not meant to be a "theory-book" on the battle of the Little Bighorn. All it is is as an "assessment of the 1984 field season" of archaeological work on the battlefield. As that it functions well, with complete descriptions of the recovered artifacts and many sketches and pictures. There are only about 15 pages about the way the battle itself went, and it just correlates the artifacts in a preliminary way to how the battle may have progressed. It's nothing to get upset over. As for the Kansas City reviewer, he must be on another planet. Kuhlman's work was not "ripped without mercy" in this book. As a matter of fact, I don't think Kuhlman was even mentioned at all.
