Author John F. Winkler expertly examines the Army s controversial calamity, analyzing what went wrong and how the Indians scored such a complete victory. Superb color plates by PeterDennis depicting woodlands combat are complemented by period illustrations, maps and photos showing everything from artifacts and re-enactors to the present-day site of the clash. This concise, 96-page book is a fascinating look at a relatively little-known battle, especially considering how the Army suffered triple the number of casualties at the Wabash than were much more famously slaughtered by the Sioux and their allies at Custer s Last Stand in 1876. - Toy Soldier & Model Figure (April 2013)
