Scope and Contents

Fred Dustin draws on court testimony and analyses of geography in an attempt to explain Major Marcus Reno's position in the valley of the Little Bighorn before his retreat across the river and to the bluffs. This extensive, highly detailed essay is intended to accompany and amend The Custer Tragedy, in which Dustin presents a varying version of Reno's advance and retreat. Dustin's work here, which includes several maps, is of value to those interested in the Reno/Benteen portion of the Battle of the Little Bighorn.
