Story of Sergeant Windolph, Last Survivor of the Battle of Little Big Horn
Sergeant Charles Windolph was the last white survivor of the Battle of the Little Big Horn. A six-year veteran of the Seventh Cavalry, Windolph fought in Benteen's troop on that fatal Sunday, and here he recalls the battle that wiped out Custer's command. This work is useful for students of American Western or military history."In no book of comparable size can the reader get a better understanding of what happened that red Sabbath on the Little Bighorn, and how, and why."- "New York Times". "It is the kind of book that ought to be on the shelf of every student of American Western or military history."- Paul I. Wellman, "New York Herald Tribune Weekly Book Review". 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. |
