This historic and personal work tells the Native American side, poignant revealing how disastrous the encounter was for the \"victors,\" the last great gathering of Plains Indians under the leadership of Sitting Bull. Telling of the pride and desperation of a people systematically stripped of their treaty rights, hounded from their ancestral hunting grounds, and herded into wretched reservations, \u003ci\u003eKilling Custer\u003c\/i\u003e reveals how this defining moment in American history was no more a \"Last Stand\" than a final celebration of waning power and freedom.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n                        \u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n                        \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eJames Welch \u003c\/b\u003e(1940 – 2003) was the author of the novels \u003ci\u003eWinter in the Blood\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Death of Jim Loney\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eFools Crow\u003c\/i\u003e (for which he received the \u003ci\u003eLos Angeles Times\u003c\/i\u003e Book Prize, an American Book Award, and the Pacific Northwest Booksellers Award), \u003ci\u003eThe Indian Lawyer\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eThe Heartsong of Charging Elk\u003c\/i\u003e.  Welch also wrote a nonfiction book, \u003ci\u003eKilling Custer: The Battle of the Little Bighorn\u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003eand the\u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003eFate of the Plains Indians\u003c\/i\u003e, and a work of poetry, \u003ci\u003eRiding the Earthboy 40\u003c\/i\u003e.
