Warpath - The True Story of the Fighting Sioux

On June 25, 1876, troops of the U.S. Seventh Cavalry under command of General George Armstong Custer rode ino the valley of the Little Big Horn River expecting to rout the Indian emcampment there. Instead they were met by the gathered strength of the Sioux and Cheyenne warriors, who did not run but turned to battle the solders. White Bull charged again and again, leading a war party until the last soldier lay dead. The battle became known as Custer's Last Stand, and Chief White Bull as the warrior who killed Custer. In 1932 White Bull told his own side of the story to Stanley Vestal. "All that I have told is straight and true," said White Bull. This is the story of the life of White Bull, explaining in vivid detail just what conditions were like for Indians on the Great Plains in the later half of the 19th century.
