The massacre of George Armstrong Custer's entire command at the battle of The Little Bighorn in 1876 was the worst defeat suffered by the US Army during the so-called Indian Wars, but were there any actual survivors among Custer troops? Most historians would say no, however, there were three fewer bodies found at the site than the number of soldiers in the five companies led by Custer.

Little Bighorn tells the story of that historic battle through the eyes of one of the three survivors. The soldier's account, along with that of the young Lakota woman who aided his escape, is relayed through this compelling narrative.

The legendary battle occurred at the dawn of the Industrial Age as Americans embraced Manifest Destiny and set out to establish a continental empire. The clashing cultures of late 19th century America are revealed in Little Bighorn. Love, sex, and violence combine in this uniquely American tale.
