"Scene of one of the last important Indian resistances to the westward march of civilization on June 25-26, in which General George Armstrong Custer and his immediate command met defeat and death".

Includes black and white photo reproductions, map and illustrations. An interesting look at the battlefield from a 1940's perspective, which emphasizes the military perspective of the Battle of the Little Bighorn, focusing on the heroism of Custer and his men. The language and terminology used reflects the era's patriotic tone, with minimal information on the Native American tribes involved in the battle and their perspectives. This approach mirrored the historical narratives prevalent in the mid-20th century, which often prioritized the U.S. military viewpoint over a more balanced historical account.
