Arikara Narrative of Custer's Campaign and the Battle of the Little Bighorn

History from the other side. by James P. Zaworski The Arikara Narrative of Custer's Campaign is an important work of ethnography and of American history. The American-Plains Indian War was a tragic period in our history, and the story needs to be told from both sides. For many years, the Native American accounts were discounted, ignored, and otherwise disregarded. This book puts forth an interesting view from the Arikara, allied to the United States against the Sioux and Cheyenne. It was originally published a century ago, and republished recently. It is a good read for historians, ethnographers, anthropologists, and enthusiasts of this era in history.
