Ghost
Herder:
The Journal of the Friends
of the Little Bighorn Battlefield
"You have done a magnificent job with a
stellar list of authors. I think you may have set a standard you cannot meet in
the future. Hearty congratulations on this issue."
Robert Utley
The purpose of “Ghost Herder” is to support the management
goals and objectives of Little Bighorn Battlefield National Monument. Think of
it as a living biography of the battlefield. Historian Jim Donovan describes it
as one of the best edited journals he has read in years.
The contributors to “Ghost Herder” are easily recognized as some of the best
historians and writers of the American West:
Friends board member and senior editor of “Ghost Herder”, Neil Mangum, presents
an extensive and detailed look at the transformation of Last Stand Hill since
1876. We include a magnificent aerial photograph of Last Stand Hill never
published before.
Jerry Greene,
Plains Indian historian and Friends member, chronicles the evolution of Indian
testimony from rejection to acceptance.
Friends member, Mike
Donahue, shares personal stories – some uproariously funny -- from his two
decades as a seasonal ranger at Custer Battlefield. Included is a riveting
account of the Russell Means
demonstration on Last Stand Hill June 25, 1988. Mike allowed us to publish,
for the first time, photos from that day.
Kingsley Bray studies one aspect of the battle: who killed
Charley Reynolds and
Bloody Knife? Bray found new evidence – never published – that will make one
consider his theory seriously.
Our final article is by Dr. Douglas Scott. Here are the stories of the early
archeologists, both professional and amateur, who surveyed the battlefield for
battle relics. This is a preview, somewhat, of our future book “Uncovering
History” to be published in 2013. In “Uncovering History”, Scott tells the
complete story of every archeological study conducted at LBH. Update: You
can now also order "Uncovering
History"
