A Warrior Who Fought Custer

About this film

LibriVox recording of A Warrior Who Fought Custer by Wooden Leg; Thomas Bailey Marquis. Read in English by Barry Eads. This is the story of Wooden Leg, one of sixteen hundred warriors of the Northern Cheyennes who fought against Custer at the Battle of the Little Bighorn. Wooden Leg tells of growing up on the Great Plains, Cheyenne courtship, camp life, spirituality, and hunting; of skirmishes with other Tribes; and of the Cheyennes’ valiant resistance against the army of the United States. Wooden Leg recalls the fight against Custer at the Little Bighorn, a recollection that stands as the first published Native account of that battle. Wooden Leg related the story in interviews with Thomas B. Marquis, formerly an agency physician for the Northern Cheyennes. Marquis checked and corroborated or corrected all points of importance with other Cheyennes. - Summary by Barry Eads For further information, including links to online text, reader information, RSS feeds, CD cover or other formats (if available), please go to the LibriVox catalog page for this recording.
