"Each of the twenty-five authors that contributed to this volume brings solid credentials to the discussion. The fact that twenty-five authors and twenty-five different topics were required to provide a comprehensive overview of the battle adds additional strength to the Companion. It serves to emphasize how incredibly complex the 1876 campaign really was." (The Denver Westerners Roundup, May - June 2016)
