Was he a martyr or damned? A hero or a fool? This pictorial biography of George Armstrong Custer explores all facets of the legendary general from his boyhood to West Point, through the Civil War and his earlier battles, to his last stand. It shows Custer's family, friends, and associates, military and civilian, white and Indian, at work and at play. More pictures of Custer-related people, places, and artifacts are assembled here than in any other book or museum collection.

George Armstrong Custer rode at the head of his cavalry command where he made instantaneous decisions, most of which resulted in victory during the Civil War. The older officers over whom he had jumped in rank soon displayed their animosity. From them, and many others, a series of charges against him were circulated; from these grew the innumerable Custer legends. This volume includes many interesting and unusual Custer legends, which include the alleged fathering of Monahseetah's Indian son; the Annie Jones story buried in the National Archives; Custer's capture of Lee's supply trains at Appomattox Court House that caused Lee to surrender—and much more.
