Warriors at the Little Bighorn 1876 by Richard Hook
The battle which took place on the Little Bighorn river on June 25, 1876 has passed into legend as Custer's Last Stand. This remarkable book is a unique analysis of the oral and pictorial evidence for the appearance of nearly 30 named Sioux and Cheyenne warriors who were present that day, and for their parts in the battle. The fruit of many years' study by one of today's most internationally respected interpreters and illustrators of Native American material culture, it offers biographical notes and meticulously researched color reconstructions, together with rare photographs and pictographs.
Richard Hook was born in 1938 and trained at Reigate College of Art.

He illustrated more than 50 titles for Osprey, contributing to these books for over 30 years. Sadly Richard passed away in January 2010.
