“Little Bighorn is an American masterwork of the ultimate triumph of love and redemption during the so-called 'Indian Wars'–surely one of the most detestable eras in all of American’s history. Hough is relentlessly truthful, unfailingly entertaining, and transcendently generous.”—Howard Frank Mosher, award-winning author of Where the Rivers Flow North, Disappearances, Northern Borders, and others
“Little Bighorn is every bit as remarkable as Larry McMurtry’s Lonesome Dove. The characters are vivid, the tension palpable and the dialogue unfeigned. John Hough, Jr. is one the great American novelists alongside Cormac McCarthy and Jonathan Franzen.”—Robert Dugoni, bestselling author of Jury Master, Damage Control and others
“John Hough’s last book, Seen the Glory, was one of the best Civil War novels I've ever read. Now in Little Bighorn he’s turned his superb storytelling talents to the epic story of Custer and the Little Bighorn. I read the last hundred pages in one page-turning and finger-burning frenzy, then put the book down and reluctantly returned to our modern world, sorry there wasn’t more to read.”—James Donovan, author of the bestselling A Terrible Glory: Custer and the Little Bighorn and The Blood of Heroes
“Little Bighorn is a potent blend of research and imagination. John Hough has forever changed my view of George Armstrong Custer in this stellar, riveting novel.”—Ron Rash, award-winning author of The Cove and Serena
“This fictional account of the rendezvous of George Armstrong Custer's Seventh Cavalry with its tragic destiny at Little Bighorn offers a richly textured perspective on this famous event. The triumphant love story of Allen and Addie grabs the reader's heartstrings even as the narrative moves toward its inevitable dark climax.”—James M. McPherson, author of Battle Cry of Freedom
“Little Bighorn is a fine novel drawing on both fictional and historical figures. Very readable.”—Robert M. Utley, author of The Lance and the Shield: The Life and Times of Sitting Bull
