ABSTRACT
Like Gall, the Northern Cheyenne chief Two Moon participated in the Custer fight. While Gall focused primarily on the battle itself, Two Moon also described the events that preceded it as well as what his people did in the immediate aftermath. He was thereby able to shed light on the movements of his people, how it is that the Cheyenne and Lakota came to be together at the Greasy Grass, their general frame of mind at the time of the battle, and what happened during the fight itself. Like Gall, he shared his views well after the fact and through an interpreter. And just the same as Gall’s, his story was largely ignored until supported by evidence generated by archaeological research on the battlefield.
