1.Custer Victorious: The Civil War Battles of General George Armstrong CusterCuster Victorious: The Civil War Battles of General George Armstrong Custer
from University of Nebraska Press
Price: $24.95

Customer Review:
this book is valuable as a reference to Custer's Civil War service. At least you will learn in which battles he participated. Whether or not he was the brave hero portrayed is questionable simply because this author is so in love with Custer that everything else is disregarded.
Urwin was only... more info

2.Riding with Custer: Recollections of a Cavalryman in the Civil WarRiding with Custer: Recollections of a Cavalryman in the Civil War
from Bison Books
Price: $19.95

Customer Review:
This is a memoir with chapters written in and after the 1880's.

An interesting positivist take on the war--also interesting how politically conscious Kidd appears to have been. My general observation is that the Northern accounts seem to be more politicized, more likely to talk about politicians... more info

from Bison Books
Price: $13.57

Customer Review:
This book, authored by Edward Longacre, tells the tale of Union and Confederate cavalry during the Gettysburg campaign--from Brandy Station to Lee's retreat to Virginia. As such, it does a good job of describing this subject. Longacre notes the value of this book (Page 9): ". . .no full length book... more info

from University of Oklahoma Press
Price: $15.96

Customer Review:
With its oversize, ample illustrations, this book serves as the pictorial version (or "movie") version of Utley's classic CAVALIER IN BUCKSKIN that came out in the late 1980s as part of a western biographical series produced by the University of Oklahoma Press. As such, its coverage of the Civil War... more info

5.CusterCuster
from Simon & Schuster
Price: $15.00

Customer Review:
This was my first autobiography to read about the life of Custer and it was well worth the time spent reading it.
Mr Wert's research was very extensive so he was able to bring to light some fasinating things about Custer's life, and particularly his love affair with his wife Libbie.
If... more info

from Upton & Sons
Price: $34.80

Customer Review:
Mr. Custer tells a very bare bones version of his great-great uncle's life. It is startling how much is cleared away when only basic facts are discussed. The author cuts through hype, politics, revisionism, and decades of venomous build up to paint a simple, sympathetic view of Custer's life and... more info

from Anchor
Price: $11.53

Customer Review:
Very well written account of Crazy Horse and the "crazy" attitudes of the US Government (big surprise---some things never change). Ambrose gives a detailed account of how each man came to be iconic---warts and all. Very well written---a page turner. I must admit, while I admire Ambrose and his... more info

8.Elizabeth Bacon Custer and the Making of a MythElizabeth Bacon Custer and the Making of a Myth
from University of Oklahoma Press
Price: $19.95

Customer Review:
This is a beautifully written book, and very readable. Having read a lot about the history of the period I already knew how fiercely the widow Custer guarded her husband's reputation and how much she did to enhance it. Unlike many female authors might do, however, Leckie does not judge Libby by... more info

Customer Review:
This is the first of three books George Armstrong Custer's widow Elizabeth Bacon Custer (EBC hereafter) wrote about her life with the General. It begins with Custer and the 7th being assigned to North Dakota, and ends with the expedition which led to the Battle of the Little Bighorn. EBC is a good... more info

I can not say enough good about this book.....for think of it more as what Little House on the Prairie should have been if it was interesting....and what Tom Sawyer and Hunk Finn would have been if Mark Twain was a good writer.
I consider this a fabulous work, because it is first hand history... more info
