Here’s one by James Donovan.

A Terrible Glory: Custer and the Little Bighorn - the Last Great Battle of the American West

It’s recent and I got the kindle version.

He’s very balanced in his approach, which I like. Some of the Custer writers of the 50’s and 60’s were incredibly biased in their writings.

A book which I consider gold is one written in the early 1900’s by Cyrus Brady called Indian Fights and Fighters. There’s a chapter in there with Godfrey’s account of the battle and Theodore Goldin (one of the last to see Custer).

Or you could just get Godfrey’s book:
The Godfrey Diary of the Battle of the Little Bighorn

Thanks a lot.

Do you find it easy to use Kindle? Now that I’m retired, my hands hurt too much to hold a book for extended periods.

Donovan was very good.

I bought it when it first came out. 2008. That is recent for most of us. :)
