Synopsis
This is not just another Custer Book. Authors in the past have concentrated on the prejudices of the human participants. This study of how the U.S. Army trained their men and horses grew out of a research project for a reenactment-riding group in Northern Utah It turned into a how raw recruits were turned into good horsemen and a deeper understanding of the magnificent world of horses. It also soon introduced the author to ownership of a horse and learning to ride like a cavalryman. This training and the deployment tactics that were developed by the Old Army helped to shape the Custer Fight.

His experience in Western Horsemanship, and as a Cavalry Reenactor has led him to research how the Old Army trained their men and horses. This study has revealed many secrets of the Custer Battle. Bob has a Bachelor of Fine Arts, with a double major in Studio Painting and American West studies, a lifetime love for horses, and his wife of forty-six years, not necessarily in that order!
