Lieutenant Colonel George Armstrong Custer was victorious in only one engagement against the American Indians—the Battle of the Washita. Eight years before the Little Bighorn, Custer marched his men through heavy snows to attack a village of Cheyenne Indians under Chief Black Kettle, the most peaceful of the Cheyenne leaders. The Indians did not consider themselves to be at war and were taken by surprise by the dawn attack. Over one hundred men, women, and children were killed and eight hundred horses shot. Was the massacre justified? History has tended to take Custer's word for it, but the facts behind the event may speak differently. It must be left to the conscience of the reader to decide which is commemorated by the marker erected on the site of the battle: a great victory for Custer or a tragedy for the Cheyennes. “With much evidence of exhaustive research, this volume is an unusually well-written and engrossing account. It makes every effort to maintain historical objectivity, and in cases where the matter is controversial [the author] is careful to quote the opinions of both principals and authorities. This detailed narrative is particularly revealing with regard to the competence and frailties of army officers, including General Custer.”—Library Journal Stan Hoig lives in Edmund, Oklahoma. Among his books are The Humor of the American Cowboy (also a Bison Book), The Sand Creek Massacre, The Peace Chiefs of the Cheyennes, and Tribal Wars of the Southern Plains.

This is a detailed account of the battle at the Washita River written by a National Park Service historian. The author expends much effort in recounting the military movements and tactics of Gen. Sheridan and Lt. Col. Custer, but also delves into the "clash of cultures" to explain why the battle came about. A very interesting read. Illustrated with a few illustrations and maps and a bibliography for further reference.

In the early morning of November 27, 1868, the Seventh Cavalry, under the command of Lieutenant Colonel George Armstrong Custer, assaulted the village of Black Kettle, the noted Cheyenne peace chief. The Seventh killed nearly one hundred noncombatants and few warriors, but the engagement became known as the 'Battle of the Washita, ' named for the Washita River in western Indian Territory where the attack occurred. Americans remember similar events as massacres, but the 'Washita Massacre' does not exist in American memory. This thesis is a comparative work of Washita and several other sites of the Plains Indian wars. The project examines migration and the resulting racial constructions of both white Americans and the Southern Cheyenne to determine why the violence occurred and why the American public accepted a predawn assault on a sleeping village as an appropriate reaction to Cheyenne depredations against white settlers in Kansas. The thesis then explores the ways memory of Washita developed and how whites shaped the perception of the event. Last, the work then discusses the shifting understanding of Washita and recent efforts by the Cheyenne and National Park Service to include native perspectives of the event. As a result, Washita's historical interpretation is slowly becoming more balanced.
