This research paper: A 5 page book review of this text. Colonel W.A. Graham's The Story of the Little Big Horn was first published in 1926. Not surprisingly, Graham uses the language of the time in describing the battle of the Little Big Horn, which was a resounding defeat of American troops under the leadership of Major-General George Armstrong Custer, the battle which soon became known as a "massacre" in the mainstream press. Graham uses the language of the time--whites are described as "forward-looking people," Native Americans are "savages," and the plunder of Native American land is pictured in terms of American Manifest Destiny (Graham 3). Nevertheless, despite this prejudicial and highly biased language, Graham's book does attempt to offer a fair and historically account of the battle and he pictures it as a clash between civilizations, rather than as a "massacre" by "savages." No additional sources cited.
