June 2009 Wild West Magazine

[Diane Merkel]

Thanks to Lee Noyes for this:

The June issue of Wild West magazine contains several Custer/Little Bighorn related articles. Featured is a balanced assessment of Custer’s alleged relationship with Monahsetah (“Custer’s Love Triangle”) by John Koster. Other items of interest are an interview with CBHMA member Jim Donovan, author of A Terrible Glory (reviewed in the Spring Battlefield Dispatch) and Koster’s expose of ten myths regarding Little Bighorn “survivors.” A commentary questions a claimed photograph of Crazy Horse. Several recent Little Bighorn books are also reviewed.

Just checked the web version of the magazine and not sure if this is what you are talking about.

Greg Michno wrote an article about the myths regarding the battle.

Most of the comments by viewers were critical of his thoughts and distain toward readers (re: "Deal with it")

Michno used Indian narratives as the gospel for what happened and his interpretations led to the conclusion Custer did everything right but didn't explain why he lost.

Donovan's interview was good.

This is the cover of the June issue. If nothing else, it proves sex sells . . . even that of dead people.

I just checked Tom Goodrich's blog:
