I read Marshal's book about Crazy Horse, it wasn't an historical research, but hearsays by the tribe. It's like hearing what Joe Medicine Crow has to say to rewrite history and glorify the Native for what they didn't do or didn't even think to do.
The Native American "vision" of history, as James Welch said, is just pro-Indian advertising.

Here's an excerpt from a review of the book: Near the site of the Little Bighorn Battlefield today are tours, souvenir and sandwich shops, gravestones and stories. It is the last that concerns Joseph M. Marshall III in "The Day the World Ended at Little Bighorn: A Lakota History." Often, he has returned to that battle - its antecedents, its consequences - beginning in 1992 with his first book, co-written, called "Soldiers Falling Into Camp."
An authority on the Lakota, one of the major branches of the Sioux, Marshall is a member of the Sicangu "burnt thigh" Lakota, named for ancestors who survived a prairie fire by running back through the advancing flames. Raised by his maternal grandparents, Marshall learned Lakota as his first language, took up the art and craft of bow-making and has spent his literary life writing about Lakota history and culture.

For some reason, I didn't associate Marshall with Soldiers Falling Into Camp. I'll have to revisit that book, which I only partially read first time around.
