Nominated for AudioWorld's Golden Headset Award for best multi-cast audio release of the year

The real story of Custer and his famous last battle against the Sioux.

Lt. Col. George A. Custer leads his 7th Cavalry into the Valley of the Little Big Horn, and into eternity in this truly spectacular audio dramatization. It is our heartfelt hope that we have done justice to the events of June 25th 1876. It was a horrific battle, which saw no true victors. Custer's command lost their lives. The Plains Indians lost their way of life.

Sioux War Dance Songs performed by Kenneth Hamilton
Shenandoah performed by Dominic Nolfi

OK, There is Audio theatre and there is AUDIO THEATRE!...this is AUDIO THEATER!!!!!
Granted, the story of Custer's defeat at Little Big Horn is already great drama and great history...But this program ties it all together in an amazing way. The music score alone is something worth listening to all by its self (and very little modern audio uses music the way this program does). The acting, the story, the sound effects and music all make this top notch entertainment. You see how come it won an major award. This is a "must have" for anyone interested in great audio. Let me know what you think once you have given it a listen. I give it two thumbs up.
This is great audio drama!

I have to agree with Bob from Colorado! This is great audio drama! Treat yourself tonight. Turn off the TV, purchase and download this right now and listen away as you see the combined force of many Native American nations ride all around you and Custer as you do your best to defend yourself. This takes your breath away. Don't believe me? Believe Bob then! Bob knows audio drama!! :-) Then download Captain Blood and all the rest of Jerry Robbins and The Colonial Theatre On The Air's great shows. I know I am!

Audio books really are a wonderful thing, not only do they transport you to other worlds, introduce you to other people’s ideas and culture, they are also a lot more flexible than books. The book drains your time in a world where time is a very valuable thing, in mp3or wma format however; stories can be listened to anywhere and on any music device. It doesn’t matter if you use an mp3 players or a cd player, whether you are jogging, washing the pots or transforming the boring commute to work with excitement and intrigue and you can listen to them at any time.

Now with the internet audiobooks are a lot more accessible and easier to obtain than normal books, going online for them is quick, simple and saves time that would be other wise spend trawling through stores trying to find one you really want.

Many sites offer a few free downloadable introductory titles, to get you started and no doubt hooked on the splendour of them. What better way to spend a Saturday evening than to sit back, relax and enjoy a good audiobook, instead of renting a dvd or stagnating in front of the television. Unlike rentals, they can be kept for life and enjoyed again and again.
