San Francisco: North Point Press, 1984. This is a Third Printing of what is most likely the definitive history of the ill-fated General George Armstrong Custer and his Seventh Calvalry at the Battle of the Little Bighorn during the Plains Indian Wars. It illustrates how a prize-winning fiction writer can turn well-researched history into an engrossing page-turner. The book and price-unclipped dust jacket are in close to Fine condition, with only minimal wear, and was probably read only once, and that, gently. This handsome volume is bound in marblelized paper-covered boards with a brown cloth spine and die-stamped gilt spine titles. It has a colorful bookplate from the original owner on the first blank page. The endpapers are maps of the Bighorn Campaign and the battle itself. The book measures 6 1/2 by 9 1/2 inches and includes 441 pages, with Index. . Hard Cover. Near Fine/Near Fine. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. Read More

Harper Perennial. January 1991. Paperback. Very Good+. A crisp clean softcover, no markings throughout: Part anthropological study of Plains Indian life, part military history, and part character study of the principal actors in the Battle of the Little Big Horn, Evan Connell's justly well-known book presents a balanced and critical account of George Armstrong Custer's career. ("Why he was esteemed as an Indian fighter is puzzling," Connell remarks. "None of his frontier campaigns demonstrated particular skill or insight.") Connell also examines the lives of Captain Frederick Benteen and Major Marcus Reno, the admirable General George Crook, and their foes Sitting Bull, Crazy Horse, and Rain in the Face. Reno comes out worst: he held the dubious distinction of having the worst record before or since in the history of the United States Military Academy, and he was dishonorably discharged for incompetence after failing to get his column into battle in time to save Custer's command. Connell's thrilling story has all the inevitability of a tragedy, but there are no tragic heroes to which to point. Read More
