This most original book was almost impossible to find until Amazon started offering out of print books. This is a must have book for every Little Bighorn student’s library and well worth it. It is literally a day-by-day accounting of each marching columns activities as they head toward destiny at the Little Bighorn. It even includes the often unknown 5th Cavalry entrance to the 1876 campaign on June 6. The diary begins on May 17, 1876 and ends on June 28 with the burial of the 7th Cavalry dead.
