Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Immediately after news of the disaster at Little Bighorn spread across the nation in June of 1876, editors, artists, and writers made George A Custer into the battle's tragic hero. The laudatory biographies that followed and his widow's desperate attempts to preserve her late husband's heroic memory soon elevated his reputation to mythic proportions. But historian and lawyer W. A. Graham (1875-1954) was not interested in the propaganda surrounding the Custer myth. In 1953 Stackpole first published Graham's "The Custer Myth", a much-needed reference work that presents original source material without the bias of interpretations and misconstructions. This classic study will continue to serve as an indispensable tool for every Custer researcher, student, and enthusiast. Immediately after news of the disaster at Little Bighorn spread across the nation in June of 1876, editors, artists, and writers made George A Custer into the battle's tragic hero. This study is of interest to Custer researchers, students, and enthusiasts. Shipping may be from our UK warehouse or from our Australian or US warehouses, depending on stock availability.
