: Result -

: Sioux wiped out 5 companies of calvary, defeated a national hero, and embarassed the army.

: USA gained in that the nation galvanized together to resolve Sioux problem and restrict them to reservations. The army, filled with resolve after the LBH, engaged in a relentless pursuit that caused the Sioux bands to scatter, lose power, have less time to hunt, etc.

Any recommended reference work you might know of on this subject would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
