A comprehensive introduction to General Custer combines first-person narratives, scholarly articles, photographic essays, and original contributions in four sections that cover "The Civil War," "The Indian Wars," "Little Big Horn," and "The Custer Myth."

With literally hundreds of titles about "America's most famously unfortunate soldier," Hutton (history, Univ. of New Mexico) manages to find and fill a niche in the Custer literature. The author of several award-winning works on the West (e.g., Phil Sheridan & His Army ), Hutton here collects writings by both historians and contemporaries of Custer, organizing them in four broad categories: the Civil War, the Indian Wars, the Little Big Horn, and the Custer Myth. Good contemporary photographs and illustrations supplement the readings. This work nicely complements such standards as Robert Utley's Cavalier in Buckskin (Univ. of Oklahoma Pr., 1988) and Brian Dipple's Custer's Last Stand (o.p.). Despite its length, it will appeal to the history buff as well as the serious Custer scholar. Recommended for academic and public libraries. History Book Club alternate.
