About this listen

 The Battle of Little Bighorn in Montana in 1876 has become known as the quintessential clash of cultures between the Lakota Sioux and whites. The men who led the battle, Crazy Horse, Sitting Bull, and Colonel George A. Custer, have become the stuff of legends.

Here, award-winning Lakota historian Joseph M. Marshall III reveals the nuanced complexities that led up to and followed the battle. Until now, this account has been available only within the Lakota oral tradition. The Day the World Ended at Little Bighorn is required listening for anyone enthralled by the tale of the encounter that changed the scope of both America and the American landscape.

Critic reviews

"Marshall offers a thoughtful and enlightening alternative look at this iconic chapter in American history." ( Booklist)
"Marshall's thoughtful reflections and rich detail (much of it drawn from the oral stories of unidentified Lakota elders)...immerse the reader in the experience of a once free people wrestling with an uncertain destiny." ( Publishers Weekly)

Much of the Lakota history is oral. Listening to this book was like being told a fantastic true oral history of the battle of the Little Bighorn by a Lakota warrior. I cannot recommend this book enough.
