CUSTER CAVALIER IN BUCKSKIN by Utley Robert M
The name of George Armstrong Custer evokes instant recognition in almost every American and in people around the world. No figure in the history of the American West has more powerfully moved the human imagination. Robert M. Utley analyses the legend, but also moves beyond this point to probe the man behind this popular perception to reveal a fascinating and compex personality. At the same time he characterises and interprets the context for both, the frontier army of the American West. Written in a captivating and evocative style, Custer: Cavalier in Buckskin is a highly readable biography which combines elegant prose with a thorough knowledge of the subject and sound historical judgement.
Robert M. Utley, former Chief Historian and Assistant Director of the National Park Service, is the author of many books and articles on the West. Since his retirement from the federal government, he has devoted himself full-time to historical research and writing. Three of his books were Book-of-the Month Club selections, seven have been History Book Club selections, while another was a Military Book Club selection
