First Edition. 8vo. #10 of a Limited Edition of 35 Numbered and Signed copies, bound in Full Blue Leather with Slipcase, as issued. Eight Maps by John Popovich. Tables. Bibliography. Index. A detailed military and political history of the 1876 Great Sioux War, the conflict that culminated in the Battle of the Little Bighorn and the defeat of Lt. Col. George A. Custer. Gray reconstructs the entire campaign against the Lakota Sioux and Northern Cheyenne, tracing the causes of the war from the discovery of gold in the Black Hills and U.S. treaty violations through the Army’s multi-column summer offensive. "As a result of his excellent abilities as a researcher, Dr. Gray wrote many outstanding works on the Little Big Horn; however, this is his masterpiece. Covering the entire 1876 campaign, it is of great interest to the student of the battle because of its concept of a detailed study of the time intervals throughout the day of June 25. Recommended."--O'Keefe 967. "First and foremost, we should consider John Gray's 'Centennial Campaign,' High Spot #27, a book that at publication in 1976, joined W. A. Graham, Charles Kuhlman, Edgar Stewart, and Fred Dustin accounts to be cornerstones of Custer Battle literature."--Custeriana p.137. A truly outstanding work, and a handsomely produced limited edition. Volume and Slipcase as New.
