Synopsis

Still one of the best Custer books, E.A. Brininstool's classic brings together his lifetime of work on the Little Bighorn disaster and the Indian Wars. A newspaperman and cowboy poet born just six years before Custer's last battle, Brininstool met, interviewed, and corresponded with many Little Bighorn survivors. Here is his final work on the subject, published a few years before his death in 1957. Even if you've read lots of Custer material, you'll find information that you haven't read before in this volume. Every history of the American West provides us with another view of the movement that changed the country forever. For the first time, this long out-of-print volume is available as an affordable, well-formatted book for e-readers and smartphones.

About the Author:

Earl Alonzo Brininstool was born in Warsaw, New York, in 1870. In 1895 he moved with his wife, Estelle, to Los Angeles, California, where he pursued a career in journalism. At different times, he worked as a reported, editorial writer, and columnist for the Los Angeles Times, Record, Examiner, and Express. Brininstool wrote numerous light sonnets and Western poems in addition to his dozens of magazine articles and ten books devoted to the Indian wars, including Crazy Horse and Fighting Red Cloud's Warriors. He died in 1957 at age eighty-six. Brian C. Pohanka, one of the nation's leading authorities on the life of the common soldier of the Civil War, is a frequent consultant of film and the television producers on Civil War reenacting and living history. Formerly an assistant editor and researcher for the Time-Life Books Civil War series, he is the author of Distant Thunder: A Photographic Essay on the American Civil War and Civil War: An Aerial Portrait. Pohanka is also active in Custer and Little Bighorn studies, including archaeological work on the Little Bighorn Battlefield.

From the Back Cover:

No one survived in Custer's immediate command, but other soldiers fighting in the Battle of the Little Big Horn on June 25-26, 1876, were doomed to remember the nightmarish scene for decades after. Their true and terrible stories are included in Troopers With Custer.
