In his factual but dramatic account, Graham suggests that a series of circumstances ensured the defeat of the Seventh Cavalry. On that Sunday in June 1876, the Indians were simply better soldiers. Graham "has weighed and presented all the available evidence in a commendably judicious manner. . . . [The] undeniable facts . . . make a fairly simple story, and that story is essentially the record of an unnecessary sacrifice of brave men's lives".-New York Times. Graham's "report [is] very convincing, because marked by justice, conscientiousness, and industry".-New York Herald Tribune.
