Brief description:
Johnny D. Boggs has worked cattle, been bucked off horses, shot rapids in a canoe, hiked across mountains and deserts, traipsed around ghost towns, and spent hours poring over microfilm in library archives--all in the name of finding a good story. He has won nine Spur Awards, making him the all-time leader in Western Writers of America's history.
Review Quotes:
"Approaches [the Battle of the Little Bighorn] as a mosaic, using some forty-seven points of view, from the famous, such as Crazy Horse and Custer's wife, Libbie, to such minor characters as an army trumpeter and a brash Indian teen trying to count coup...An almost unbearably intense narrative...this is an enthralling book."
