Had a bit of a browse myself after posting, and all their reviews are terrific. Amazon have a boxed set of their full set of battles on cassette -- those you mention, and plenty more. Sounds great. The review of Gettysburg is especially enticing.
I had a listen to two or three audio samples of the LBH one. The first I heard -- Lone Tepee, Reno's charge -- sounded brilliant: fabulous sound effects, convincing voices. Wonderful. The second -- Reno and Benteen on Reno Hill -- also sounded good, and intriguingly controversial: playing up the "Custer's abandoned us" perception. The only one that put me off a bit was the third, scenes at Fort Lincoln. They had a very stilted Tom Custer; a rather feeble-sounding Libbie; and all of Custer's own family addressing him as "George", which just didn't ring true at all. So it may not be perfect. None the less, I think I will give it a go ...
Thanks for the link!

A Friend just told me that there is a CD coming out that combines Sioux music with an oral history narrative of LBH. It apparently was recorded in Rapid City but not by TreasureDude. ;D

Thanks for the site, Elizabeth, I am going to try this one out. Sounds really interesting. I havn't been much for movies or such of Gac....after seeing Custer of the West (?) with Robert Shaw...it was just awful. Pure fantasy!
It amazes me that some really GOOD movies arn't made about LBH because there is so much to the story!
Thanks again,
Bab
