He was a military man, first and foremost, who followed the orders of his superior officers. Most of the time. Yet sometimes, George Armstrong Custer was a risk-taker. And. most of the time it worked except when it didn't at the last stand. Yes, when it felt right, he would choose his own way to promote his career. So did his wife, Libbie.

This telling of the story we have heard so many times flows wonderfully well with many narratives and comments from those who were there that day. The author's research is outstanding the story telling intriguing. Highly recommended to those who are interested in a clear, concise telling of the battle at the Little Big Horn.
