Product Description
A blunt, provocative biography of General Custer by his oldest living relative. A challenge to the glib, superficial, and lamentably unoriginal depictions of Custer. The book challenges the excesses of a media more interested in sales than accuracy.

A Clear View of Gen. Custer
Mr. Custer tells a very bare bones version of his great-great uncle's life. It is startling how much is cleared away when only basic facts are discussed. The author cuts through hype, politics, revisionism, and decades of venomous build up to paint a simple, sympathetic view of Custer's life and death. He makes a compelling case against those who have crucified the general for fun and profit, not to mention political and social motives. I liked this cleaned up story.
