Summary
"George Armstrong Custer notoriously died at the hands of Lakota and Northern Cheyenne forces at the Battle of the Little Bighorn in June 1876. Yet, in addition to his fights against Plains Indian people, Custer also fought in the Civil War, led troops during Reconstruction in the Southern states, and explored the Black Hills for the federal government. Sandy Barnard's new biography, George Armstrong Custer: A Military Life, explores Custer's life and highlights the complex nature of his experiences and legacy"-- Provided by publisher.
