I just finished The Last Stand by Nathaniel Philbrick. It's about "Custer, Sitting Bull, and the Battle of the Little Bighorn" and is excellent. Well-researched. If you are interested in "Custer-ology" don't miss it.

I found the stories from Private Peter Thompson fascinating - oft left out of recountings due to the unbelievable nature of his tale. No one comes out "clean" as Denzel Washington's character says in Glory.
