This newly edited treatment of Dr. James M. DeWolf's field diary
and letters to his wife is a welcome supplement to the literature
of Custer's last campaign. In humanizing DeWolf and other
participants, editor Todd E. Harburn casts further light on the
campaign's medical needs and procedures during the weeks preceding
its disastrous finale and thereby bolsters our understanding of the
battle of the Little Big Horn. - Jerome A. Greene, author of
American Carnage: Wounded Knee, 1890
In this welcome addition to Little Big Horn literature, Todd
Harburn makes accessible again the insightful diary and letters of
James DeWolf, a civilian surgeon who perished with Custer. DeWolf
had a keen eye for detail, and these documents enrich our
understanding of his tragic story. Harburn, a distinguished surgeon
himself, expands our understanding of DeWolf's personal history and
the medical profession of DeWolf's day. - Paul L. Hedren, author of
Powder River: Disastrous Opening to the Great Sioux War
