"Custer's Last Fight: Two Perspectives: The White Man & The Indian" by Lieutenant-Colonel William H. C. Bowen & Joseph K. Dixon , chronicle the famous "Custer's Last Stand" battle of the Little Big Horn in June 1876. Bowen approaches the famous battle from the point-of-view of the white man, while Dixon records the eyewitness viewpoints of the surviving Indians.

Joseph K. Dixon , was a photographer, author, and Indian-rights advocate, who campaigned for the Indians to obtain general U.S. Citizenship, which he was successful in doing in 1924. William Holman Cary Bowen was a U. S. Army officer, who became entranced with the story of Custer's Last Stand. He interviewed many of the survivors of the battle from 1877 onwards, especially Captain Frederick Benteen who commanded one of the remaining two parts of Custer's command which combined and withstood the victorious Indians in a siege that lasted until General Alfred Terry arrived on the field to rescue them.

The research and recording of both viewpoints gives insight into how Custer came to grief.

This short book of 24,300 plus words is a fascinating must read for anyone interested in an explanation of the battle from both sides, rather than the more common view from the "winning" side..
