George Armstrong Custer: Civil War General and Western Legend (Historical American Biographies)

Rating:
Summary: Pride finally led to a fall
Review: Follows Custer's military life from battle to battle from the Civil War to Indian fighter to his gloriously stupid death at Little Big Horn. An inspiring leader who always rode at the front of his troops, he finally led them into the greatest victory ever won by the Sioux. Much is made of his devotion to wife Libbie. Disobeying orders, he once abandoned his regiment to check on her well-being and was suspended without pay for almost a year. Drawings, photos, maps, glossary, bibliography, websites, index, chronology all included
