Description
In this illuminating biography, critically acclaimed historian Jeffry Wert offers readers a controversial new perspective on the life of the legendary warrior, General George Armstrong Custer. Although best remembered for his defeat in the Battle of Little Big Horn, Custer was much more than the brutal Indian fighter he became in his later years. Drawing on recently discovered materials, Wert shows us the man behind the myth: a Civil War hero, doting husband, and career soldier whose frustration with his role during the Indian wars led him to professional disgrace and personal ruin.
