Custer, cases & cartridges

"Custer, cases & cartridges by Don Weibert, based on careful research and exploration of the battle sites, presents a whole new picture of what took place that tragic June 25, 1876. Weibert draws heavily upon the painstaking excavation of artifacts, even the tiniest, relating to progress of the Custer Battle. The findings and conclusions, presented here in both text and detailed photographs, meld this vital information with that recorded by other researchers into a compelling story of the Custer Battles. The Weibert collection of artifacts from the battlefields is the largest private collection in the world, majority coming from the Indian positions at both the Custer and Reno-Benteen battles. The book thus becomes the first complete analysis of both sides of the battles. Never before studied in depth is the detailed account of what took place at the Blummer Ridge Battle. This battle heavily involved George Armstrong Custer and his troops, only minutes before their famous "Last stand"--Jacket.
