: Vistors to your site will want to know that Herman Viola, the curator emeritus of the Smithsonian Institution, has just finished LITTLE BIGHORN REMEMBERED: THE UNTOLD IBNDIAN STORY OF CUSTER'S LAST STAND. A large part of this fascinating new book is devoted to the eyewitness accounts of Crow, Dakota, Sioux, Arikara, and Cheyenne scouts and warriors -- including stories they told to their children and grandchildren, stories that have been handed down through several generations but never before published. The book also contains over 200 full-color photographs, paintings, and illustrations -- including a dramatic series of 41 pictographs which shows in detail what happened that day as remembered by Red Horse in 1881.

: Here's what Alvin M. Josephy, Jr., author of 500 Nations : An Illustrated History of North American Indians, has so say about LITTLE BIGHORN REMEMBERED: "I thought that nothing could be added to what we already know about the battle of the Little Bighorn, but I was wrong. This is a fascinating book, with a text and a host of pictures that bring the battle vividly alive and provide the reader with many new details." 

: LITTLE BIGHORN REMEMBERED is published by Times Books, a division of Randomn House, and it is in bookstores now. It is also a Main Selection of The History Book Club. And on December 3rd, 1999, it will be the subject of a two-hour special documentary on The History Channel.
