This is the personal narrative of the most famous cavalry leader America ever produced.

Custer’s solid claim to military fame rests upon his achievements in the Civil War, yet paradoxically he is chiefly remembered by reason of his death in the Battle of Little Big Horn in June 1876– “Custer’s Last Stand”.

Much controversy still rages over Custer’s career and character. Custer was an exceedingly complex man who, in life, won devoted friends and admirers as well as outspokenly bitter enemies.

This book, representing the major part of Custer’s life, was first published some two years before the General’s Death. It is a vivid picture of the American West, the rigors of life for the settlers, and the horrors of indian warfare.

Custer, in this intensely personal account, made a major contribution to american history.

Description

Edited by Milo M. Quaife, the text of My Life on the Plains has been taken directly from the magazine Galaxy, where it first appeared as a series of articles (January 1872-October 1874). A compact, fast-moving narrative which presents Custer’s essential story in better form than any other previous edition.
