- Summary:
- This first-ever scholarly biography of Gall broadens our understanding of the man, tracing his evolution from a fearless warrior at the Little Bighorn to a representative of his people. Filling many gaps in our understanding of this warrior and his relationship with Sitting Bull, this engaging biography also offers new interpretations of the Little Bighorn that lay to rest the contention that Gall was "Custer's Conqueror."
