Review: Very readable and historically interesting account of the search for one of Custer's "lost officers" - Lieutenant Henry Moore Harrington. Called "lost" because his body - along with several other officers - was never recovered at the Little Bighorn Battle scene. Great detective by Text-Enhance">work on the part of author Walt Cross to track down both the actual remains and what probably happened to this young lieutenant at the horrific Little Bighorn battle, where Custer's 200 man command was confronted with close to 2000 warrior braves who were better armed than their 7th Cavalry counterparts and who knew the landscape, so critical to this battle. Cross provides a great deal of additional information about life in the US Cavalry during this campaign and insightful research on the battle itself. This is a fine read for those interested in the Battle of the Little Bighorn. Not the book to start with on this topic, but if you want an "inside" look at an enigmatic participant in the battle and some CSI style investigative work, it's a great book for you. -R. McNealy.
