June 25, 1876. The Battle of Little Bighorn. A day of infamy, a tale of bravery, and a mystery that has haunted historians for centuries. But what if you could witness it all again, through the eyes of a man who was there? George Blunt Herendeen's account is more than just a historical testimony - it's a window into the soul of Custer's last stand. Get ready to experience the unvarnished truth, the raw emotion, and the unforgettable story of a battle that changed the course of American history.
I've read many wrong accounts of the Little BigHorn battle in the Herald and other papers. A good deal of it is false and meant to mislead the public. I was present with Reno during his whole connection to the battle and know what happened before and after the fight. I didn't see everything, but I saw a great deal and will tell it just as I saw it. I was with General Gibbon's command at the mouth of the Rosebud when Generals Terry and Custer joined us. General Terry gave me permission to accompany General Custer on his march up the Rosebud. He told me this at General Gibbon's tent, and I later saw Terry on the steamer Far West, which was anchored at the mouth of the Rosebud. He asked me about the terrain along the upper parts of the Rosebud and Tullock's Fork. I was standing on the forward deck when I was summoned to the cabin, where I found Generals Terry, Gibbon, Custer, and Brisbin engaged in a council of war. Terry showed me a map and sought my knowledge about the country surrounding Tullock's Fork and the Little Big Horn. From their conversation, I understood that Terry was trying to determine the best location for Custer's and Gibbon's columns to unite, with Custer marching up the Rosebud and Gibbon up the Big Horn. Having traversed this terrain, I shared my knowledge with the Generals. Custer seemed pleased with my information and expressed his desire for me to join him. I returned to the deck, and soon General Gibbon approached me to speak. General Custer told me I could consider myself hired to join him. I asked about my duties and compensation, and he replied that I would serve as a scout. Once his command reached the head of Tullock's Creek, I was to bring dispatches down the Tullock to General Gibbon's command. We discussed my compensation, but that was the extent of our important conversation. This took place on June 21st, and soon after, General Gibbon left the boat. General Brisbin emerged from the cabin, and I asked him where his cavalry would likely be in the coming days, so I could locate them. He replied that they would probably be around the mouth of the Little BigHorn.
