Publisher's Note William O. Taylor (1851-1923), the only soldier to survive Custer's Last Stand, spent 30 years haunted by his experiences and writing this astonishing memoir. Fully annotated for the modern reader, this book is richly illustrated in duotone photographs, many never seen before.
Industry Reviews "Reading it is like actually serving with Custer before his death at the battle of Little Bighorn." Advertisement - Stephen E. Ambrose
"Spectacular....What makes the Taylor book so lovely is its exceeding attention to the lowly, soldierly details of the last action on the Little Bighorn....It does more than a whole library shelf of Custer books to establish those few hours on the Little Bighorn as a snapshot of American politics." Chicago Tribune - John Calvin Batchelor
"Taylor was observant at the time, did sound research later, and wrote well....No one who values American history should overlook Taylor's contribution." Atlantic Monthly - Phoebe-Lou Adams (09/19/1996)
"This sweeping account...is a vibrant, living history." Knowles
