Download The Real Custer: From Boy General to Tragic Hero AudioBook Free
The Real Custer requires a good hard look at the life and storied military services profession of George Armstrong Custer - from reducing his pearly whites at Bull Run in the Civil Conflict, to his famous and untimely death at Little Bighorn in the Indian Wars. Author Wayne Robbins shows that Custer, having graduated last in his school at West Point, went on to confirm himself over and over as an exceptionally skilled cavalry leader. Robbins argues that Custer's undoing was his daring and cocky attitude, which induced the Army's bloodiest defeat in the Indian Wars. Robbins also dives into Custer's personal life, discovering his letters and other personal documents to uncover who he was as a person, underneath the military leader. The Real Custer can be an exciting and valuable contribution to the legend and history of Custer that will delight Custer lovers as well as listeners not used to the legend.
