Don't Mess Around

Custer proves again that his cunning and straightforward approach toward doing his duty make a successful combination when riding into battle. This book includes enough detail to make the reader feel as if the they were sitting aound the fire with Black Kettle, or riding into battle with Custer himself.A must read if you like very descriptive reading. A bit gory, but it helps to feel the realness of the events.I could've gone without the love scenes, too.

Long Winter Gone is a real winner!

I love everything that Terry C. Johnston writes, but this book is by far the best yet! The story of Genl Custer's winter campaign to find the Indian tribes that had been looting and killing is so realistic....I could almost feel the cold wind and the snow as I read! The love story woven in among the army story was great. I ordered the next book in this series today, and can hardly wait for it to get here!
