Praise for

Death at the Little Bighorn

“Custer’s last movements and decisions have been argued about since 1876, but, in my mind, no one has made a stronger case for what really happened than Phillip Thomas Tucker in this compelling and convincing narration.”

—Bob Boze Bell, executive editor True West magazine

“Philip Thomas Tucker presents a fascinating, lively, and important reassessment of the famous Battle of the Little Bighorn that recognizes the role of Cheyenne as well as Lakota warriors in the decisive turning point that defeated Lieutenant Colonel George Armstrong Custer’s flank attack, and explains vividly the military tactics that resulted in defeat instead of victory for Custer and his command. Where the ‘Last Stand’ happened and what it means will change dramatically for readers of this book.”
