Book Review of I Fought with Custer: The Story of Sergeant Windolph, Last Survivor of the Battle of the Little Big Horn

BoysMom avatar reviewed on + 855 more book reviews


Sergeant Charles Windolph was the last white survivor of the Battle of the Little Big Horn when he described it nearly seventy years later. A six-year veteran of the Seventh Cavalry, Windolph fought in Benteen's troop on that fatal Sunday and recalls in vivid detail the battle that wiped out Custer's command. Equally vivid is the evidence marshaled by Frazier and Robert Hunt on events leading up to the battle and on the investigation that followed.
