Customer Reviews

VERY GOOD BOOK.

Great book about a pivotal moment in American History, A good look at the cavalry and at both sides, A reflection of the soldier fighting it, A true gem to read!

Outstanding, vivid, first-hand account

This book brings you into the heart and head of the ordinary cavalryman. You get an up close idea on what it must have been like to be on the advance with Custer and his men, and for a little while you can see the flash of tinderboxes as the toops marched through the night, and the distant gaze of Custer as he sat outside his tent on the eve of battle. Intriguing!
