Photographer Kenneth Roahen spent five decades shooting photographs of the greater Custer Battlefield -- from the backcountry of the Crow's Nest to Custer Hill, with many views in between. His photos reveal how much more can still be learned about the 1876 Battle of the Little Big Horn. SIGNED BY AUTHOR. Book received the 2022 Jay Smith Award from the Little Big Horn Associates. NEW paperback edition
Story of Monahsetah, who was a young Cheyenne Indian woman captured by the 7th US Cavalry following Custer's attack on Black Kettle's village on the Washita River in November 1868. Controversy has existed for decades over the question of whether Custer procurred some sort of sexual relationship with Monasetah and whether she bore a child by him. This book allows the reader to make up his or her mind on this issue.
George Armstrong Custer: A Military Life explores Custer's life and highlights the complex nature of his experiences and legacy. As Barnard makes clear, Custer was one of many army officers and soldiers who took part in the Plain Indian struggles of the mid-1860s until his death on June 25, 1876, at the Battle of the Little Big Horn in faraway Montana Territory. His well-documented conflicts with American Indians have often turned him into a notorious figure. Barnard looks beyond the myths surrounding Custer to reveal the influence he had on the frontier army and the West in addition to his symbolic legacy.

Custer, author James E. Mueller suggests, had the soul of an artist, not of a soldier. Ambitious Honor elaborates this radically new perspective, arguing that an artistic passion for creativity and recognition drove Custer to success—and, ultimately, to the failure that has overshadowed his notable achievements
