Customer Review: The Custer Album gives a good background of George Armstrong Custer's early life and education as well as his military career before the Battle at the Little Bighorn. But I bought it for the pictures and these did not disappoint. There are many, many pictures of Custer in his uniform leading me to... more info
Customer Review: For years I have thoroughly researched Custer and his years on the plains, so I purchased this book primarily to learn more about Custer during the Civil War. I don't have a frame of reference to adequately state any inaccuracies during this Civil War period. However, I have to say that the part of... more info
Customer Review: I found this a very disappointing book. I had little knowledge of Custer before I read this book (and that was the reason I picked it up).

Customer Review: Perhaps it's a case of, "It's the sort of thing you'll like, if you like that sort of thing", but I can't say that I liked this one. The author presents a very-nearly-interesting concept, that Custer survived the Little Bighorn fight, only to be court-martialed for his failures. However, he presents... more info
Customer Review: To the points made in several reviews - just because Libby Custer expresses something, doesn't necessarily make her history any more valid. Very few histories are not tainted in some way by the presenting historian - and most that are not are just boring facts. I am sure Luise Jodl also expressed... more info
Customer Review: The premise for this book is solid: Too often, George Armstrong Custer is judged on the basis of his effort at the Little Bighorn. Too many people ignore the estimable record he developed during the Civil War. The book traces his role in the Civil War, from a young staff officer to one of the... more info
