4.0 out of 5 stars Re-thinking - and re-re-thinking the LBH, 14 May 1999
By A Customer
After I wrote my review I realized I may have given a wrong impression of this book. The most important finding to come out of this book, and which had slipped my mind earlier, is that Calhoun Hill fell to Indian pressure before Finley ridge. Michno argued convincingly, based on cartridge evidence and testimony, that after Calhoun Hill fell the Indians occupied its slopes and shot up Finley Ridge. Secondly, he made a new study of the Indian casualties of the fight and concluded to my satisfaction that most of their casualties occurred in the northern area of the battlefield, not in the southern around Calhoun Hill as previously argued by R. Hardorff and R.A. Fox, which is the belief that has received offical recognition by the Park Service. One more thing about Indian casualties: because they are so few - only about 18 fatalities on the Custer portion of the fight - many writers have claimed that the 210 soldiers of Custer's battalion must have fought very poorly. What it doesn't consider is the number of wounded, and also the unfortunate fact that when a victorious party overruns a position after its men have all been killed or wounded, many of the latter get killed in the blood fury. This happening was even more likely in Indian warfare. Since the occurrence of the Fetterman massacre was basically similar (all the soldiers dying, fighting for their lives, Indians overrunning them) the number of casualties on the Indian side for that battle, which is better recorded, can be used to shed light on the Custer battle. After the Fetterman battle observors found 65 blood spots indicating Indian casualities. It was later found that 14 of these were fatal. Applying that ratio to the 18 killed fighting Custer we have about 65 wounded, or 80-85 total Indian casualties. Thus the Indian victory would not seem to be so one-sided. As I said in my other review, Michno is a mixed bag: there is lots of gold, but occasionally you come up with a brass nugget.

4.0 out of 5 stars A time sequence of the Little Bighorn, 14 May 1999
By A Customer
Michno is one of the most important Custer battle researchers today, and he has made many important reconsiderations and reevaluations that have increased our knowledge of the battle. Unfortunately his books mix good ideas with bad ideas. For the former he places the Yellow Nose-guidon incident(correctly I think) on Butler Ridge instead of the more common Calhoun Hill. I do disagree with many of his assertions. Example: his time-length of the Custer battle. He says it lasted two hours, even though most Indians and the soldiers on Reno Hill who heard gunfire agreed it lasted about one hour. Because he thinks it lasted so long, he must also conclude that the Weir Point incident began and ended before most of the troopers on Custer Hill and the South Skirmish Line were slain. This is a very dangerous accusation, because it implies that Reno's troops knowingly left Custer to his fate. Unfortunately for Michno's thesis, none of the Indians support his claim. He has to dig deep and extract from John Stands in Timber's 1957 book Cheyenne Memories the statement that two warriors "were between the two fights." What Michno doesn't do is quote the context of the statement, which makes it clear that they were some of the last warriors harassing Reno's battalion on the hill and had then left and joined the Custer fight which had begun not long before. This is ironic because Michno has often attacked Richard Hardorff for selective quotations and forcing Indian accounts into the Procrustean Bed of his theories. I guess it illustrates that no man is perfect. This book is a great read, though, and puts forth a convincing sequence of events, just don't jump whole-hog into all of Michno's theories.

5.0 out of 5 stars A meticulous reconstruction of the Little Big Horn battle, 29 July 1997
By A Customer
A meticulous reconstruction of the Little Big Horn battle I have had the pleasure of reading Greg Michno's new "Lakota Noon" while it was still in manuscript form. He has created a meticulous reconstruction of the Little Big Horn battle as seen through Indian eyes, using virtually every known Native American primary source. Michno weaves these narratives a coherent tapestry, detailing the experiences of individual warriors and Indian observers as the battle progressed, tracing their movements across the Montana countryside during that hot June Sunday afternoon in 1876. "Lakota Noon" is a major contribution to understanding this controversial event.
