description: SOLDIERS FALLING INTO CAMP presents still another perspective on the crucial battles at the Rosebud and the Little Big Horn. Robert Kammen, Joe Marshall, and Frederick Lefthand have written a more fully rounded history of those battles, melding oral accounts handed down by the Sioux and Crow participants with well researched U.S. Cavalry records. This is a thrilling story, even today, and these writers have breathed new life into a great mystery. SOLDIERS must stand as the definitive story of Custer's defeat. Finally, we can see how the battles developed from the Native American point of view. This book should be read first by anyone interested in learning what really happened to Custer's dream of glory.
