I walked that path for many years... search for the books by Frederick Wagner III... probably the best. As a film I can recommend "Custer's Strategy of Defeat"... not so easy to get I fear... try www.strategyofdefeat.com 2022 funded by reeanactors and fans. The TV series "Son of The Morning Star" was the best until the above mentioned. But as a film (entertainment) nothing beats Errol Flynn's classic, not accurate at all mind... BTW even John Ford in "She wore a Yellow Ribbon" exposes his theory that Custer should have attacked and dispersed the Pony Herd! (you think that farfetched?... well... been studying the pathos of it all my life. Spoiler: Always at the end Custer's Battalion is massacred to the last man. 😉
