Items related to An Autobiography of General Custer
George Armstrong Custer gained a reputation as an innovative and bold cavalry leader during and after the American Civil War but his successes have been overshadowed by the famous defeat at Little Bighorn. Presented as an autobiography, much of this book is drawn from Custer's own writings, principally his My Life on the Plains. The 'last stand', in which he lost his life, is covered by a contemporary interview about the battle with his vanquisher, Sitting Bull.

Book Description Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. Taken from George Armstrong Custer's own writings, An Autobiography of General Custer is the true story of one of the most praised, most despised, but surely most remembered American military heroes. Indeed, few figures in our history werein their own time, as well as in our ownso wildly cheered and so roundly hated.Custers narration takes us from just after the Civil War, when, having gained a reputation as a bold and inventive leader of the cavalry, Custer was given command of an expedition to help subjugate the Native Peoples of the Great Plains and to force them onto reservations. His story touches on his own court martial and subsequent reinstatement to command. It ends shortly before he embarks upon the campaign that would eventually lead to the Battle of the Little Bighorn and Custers Last Stand. As Custer was unable to write about his most famous battle, the Autobiography concludes with an 1880s newspaper account of an interview with Sitting Bull himself after his escape to Canada, in which the great Chief looks back on the battle and offers his own point of view.In the evenings, on post and during his various leaves, Custer would sit at the dining room table with his beloved wife, Libby, and together they would compose the various stories of his exploits that would eventually become the book My Life on the Plains, which was a bestseller in its time, and from which this autobiography is largely taken. Custer's narration takes us from just after the Civil War to just before he embarks upon the campaign that would lead to the Battle of the Little Bighorn, Custer's Last Stand. In the evenings, Custer would sit down with his beloved wife, Libby, and they would compose the stories of his exploits that became the book "My Life on the Plains".
