174p, many small ills. from various old and new sources. Jacket spine is faded. Annotated edition of the 15 letters that Custer wrote to the sporting journal Turf, Field and Farm between 1867 and 1875, under the pen name Nomad. They "offer valuable insight into the character of the Boy General as he gives expression to his abiding love for hunting, horses [Thoroughbreds and trotting horses], and hounds." They also shed light on the "abortive Hancock Expedition that led to Custer's court-martial and suspension from rank and pay for one year," in that the letters are "strikingly different" from Custer's account in his memoirs, My Life on the Plains.
