The book provides a unique perspective on a pivotal moment in American history, enhanced by an introduction from Professor Louise Barnett, a historical expert.

This is the story of Left Hand, a Hunkpapa Sioux who served General George Armstrong Custer as a guide, scout, and messenger during the campaign that ended at Custer's Last Stand. Yet Left Hand was given an honored funeral by the warriors who fought Custer. Through conversations with his friend John Eagle Shield (a relative of Sitting Bull and the Medical Director of the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe), his own knowledge of the Battle of the Little Bighorn, and a rudimentary understanding of Lakota language and customs, the author was able to piece together what happened. Some questions remain, but the facts are that Left Hand joined the U.S. Army, honorably served out his full enlistment, rejoined his own people just before the Battle of the Little Bighorn, and died defending the Sioux and Cheyenne from Custer.
