Part Two Of Two Parts
George Armstrong Custer, a hero to some, a disaster to others, cut an enigmatic and extravagant figure. One thing everyone agreed -- he was fearless. When he first saw the line of Indian camps opposing him, a line more than four miles long, he whooped, "Hurrah, boys, we've got them!" Disregarding a Cheyenne warning, Custer rode to his death -- and led to death every man of the Seventh Cavalry who followed.
Evan Connell brings his storytelling skills to this meticulously researched book, part biography of Custer, part history of the Plains Indian Wars.
