Book Reviews of Where Custer Fell: Photographs of the Little Bighorn Battlefield Then and Now

Book Review: Interesting Photographic Battlefield Journey
Summary: 4 Stars

This book provides a unique approach to the analysis of the Battle of the Little Bighorn. By using photographs as testimony, the authors help reveal some errors in how the battle has been analyzed in the past. By comparing photos from the past to current photos, the book illustrates how some features of the battle site have changed including the placement of gravemarkers. It is fascinating to see how photographs taken shortly after the battle reveal hidden facts about Custer's famous Last Stand. It is also interesting to see the process of how the battlefield came to look as it currently does through photos over time. However, this book is only recommended for true Custer buffs and those who have actually been to the battlefield. For those who are students of the battle, I highly recommend it.

Summary of Where Custer Fell: Photographs of the Little Bighorn Battlefield Then and Now

The Battle of the Little Bighorn has long held an eminent position among the chronicles of the mythic West. None of the men who rode with Lieutenant Colonel George Armstrong Custer to his "Last Stand" survived to tell the tale, but this stunning photography book provides a view of the battlefield as it must have existed in 1876.

The authors James S. Brust, Brian C. Pohanka, and Sandy Barnard searched for elusive documents and photographs, made countless trips to the battlefield, and scrutinized all available sources. Each chapter begins with a concise, lively description of an episode in the battle. The narratives are graphically illustrated by historical photos, which are presented alongside modern photos of the same location on the battlefield. The book also features detailed maps and photographs of battle participants and the early photographers who attempted to tell their story.
