Thanks very much to all of you. It’s like finding a full stocking at Christmas.

Have I got these right?

Indian Fights and Fighters, Cyrus Brady
The Godfrey Diary of the Battle of the Little Bighorn, Lieutenant Edward Settle Godfrey
Keep The Last Bullet for Yourself, Thomas Marquis
Wooden Leg—A Warrior Who Fought Custer, Thomas Marquis
A Terrible Glory, James Donovan
The ABC’s of Custer’s Last Stand, Arthur C. Unger
Archaeology, History, and Custer’s Last Battle, Richard Allan Fox, Jr.

Also, I ran across this one while I was poking around. Looks promising.

The Blood of Heroes: The 13-Day Struggle for the Alamo, James Donovan

Yes very good list there and may I add two more?

Check out Lawrence Frost with these two if you wish to get a more intimate portrait of who the man Custer was:

The Custer Album (tons of pics you’ll never find on the internet)
Custer’s 7th Cav and the Campaign of 1873 (very hard to find)

You’ll get an idea of his tactics and why he thought the way he did in the 2nd one - it forshadows his movements and tactics for LBH.
