There is a new biography of General Custer that I highly recommend to you, especially if you are interested in him.

“Custer’s Trials: A Life on the Frontier of a New America” by T.J. Stiles

Its focus is on his entire life in the context of the times he lived in. It is divided into two parts: Birth through the end of the Civil War and End of the CW through his death.

I read "A Terrible Glory" last summer, a study of the Bighorn (and Custer, of course) by noted historian James Donovan. One of the best I've seen. Fair, even-handed in its treatment not only of Custer but of Benteen and Reno.

One of my bucket list to-do's is to visit the Bighorn Monument and stand on the site where the 7th Cavalry was slaughtered. It would chill my blood.

I will look into the Stiles bio and very possibly add it to my collection of Custer-abilia. Thanks for the recommendation.
