From the Back Cover
Custer and the Great Controversy was the first book to focus on the origins of what has come to be called the Custer myth. The Battle of the Little Bighorn has always been wrapped in mystery and controversy because none of Custer's men survived to tell what happened, because press accounts circulated much misinformation and editors politicized the event, because popular writers repeated the errors of journalists, because a court of inquiry resulted in bitter debate, and because Indian testimony was hard to gauge. This book, originally published in 1962, helps the reader understand the sources of the confusion and controversy surrounding the Custer fight and the beginning of the legend.
About the Author
Brian W. Dippie is a professor of history at the University of Victoria, British Columbia, and the author of Custer’s Last Stand: The Anatomy of an American Myth, also a Bison Book.

Hardcover. Condition: Very Good+. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good+. First edition. LUTHER HIGH SPOT in dark blue decorated boards, illustrated dust jacket, endpaper maps, 8 illlus. and 1 map (listed), biblio., index, 184pp. Luther #193. Dowd # 3035. O'Keefe #2420. Very Good+ in Very Good+ dust jacket with mylar. Just the book for those who enjoy the study of Custer literature, with a 20-page bibliographical survey of the early (1876-1900) works on Custer's Last Stand. The "great controversy," essentially started by Frederick Whittaker with his book "A Complete Life of Gen. George A. Custer" (#2540), was over the degree to which Custer and Major Reno and their actions were to blame for the 7th's defeat. The great debate centered around whether or not Custer disobeyed Gen. Terry's orders. Utley explores the literary responses to the battle as well as the origin, growth and evolution of the Custer legend. A classic and excellent. Seller Inventory # 6141-5818
