Sitting Bull-few figures in American history have so charged the imagination or been so little understood. Years in preparation and written with an eye for significant detail, Utley’s vivid historical biography corrects the many misconceptions about the life of the Native American leader who resisted the full force of the U.S. government for twenty-five years. 432 pp; maps; photos; illus.

He was the last of the Sioux to surrender and he did this only when every other alternative failed. 376 pp; photos; illus.

"Gray breathes life into an amazing cast of characters...His accounts of Gibson’s movements before uniting with Terry, of Benteen’s scout of the Weir point actions, of Curley’s ride, and of Custers own trail to immortality are clearly definitive...Custer’s Last Campaign is easily the most significant book yet published."
