Review

Longacre exposes the genuine bravery and intelligence; but also the vanity and recklessness. A good vehicle to get inside Custer's head during these few years of his life. A fair amount of human interest detail makes this an enjoyable read; and the detailed order of battle appendix is very useful. Heavily footnoted; long solid bibliography.3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. Michigan CalvaryBy Richard CrawfordI really enjoyed this book; the book is not so much about Custer; but his calvary. My Great Uncle Walter Crawford; rode in the 5th Michigan the entire war. I felt a personal link to the stories in this book. Very well written; not overly dry; great read for anyone who enjoys military history.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
