Description

This first biography of General George A. Custer was once published late in 1876, only months after the disaster on the Battle of the Little Big Horn. A Complete Life was once the beginning of a legend, and Frderick Whittaker did more than any individual else excluding Libby Custer to make the flamboyant Boy General a permanent resident of the national consciousness.

Quite asideĀ from its contribution to the public image of Custer, this necessary book placed him and his associates against a concrete background of onrushing events. Drawing on newspaper reports and the general’s own words, Whittaker captures the excitement of the era. Continuing the tale of Custer from Volume 1, which dealt along with his childhood in Ohio, cadetship at West Point, courtship of Elizabeth publisher 1st baron verulam, and service as a cavalryman within the Civil War, Volume 2 takes Custer west to go up the newly created Seventh Cavalry and fight the Arapahoes, Cheyennes, Kiowas, and Sioux. Whittaker gives full scope to Custer’s brushes with authority, his changeable relations along with his troops, and his famous expeditions, ending with a memorable description of his last stand on the Little Big Horn in June 1876.
