The Custer Reader

Description

Editor: Hutton, Paul Andrew

Publisher: University of Oklahoma Press

Pub Date: 2004

Binding: Paperback

Condition: Fair to Good.  Binding tight.  No marks, tears, folds.  Lower front cover corner has a very small crease, slight wear.  Very light edge and corner wear.  Appears unused.

Notes:  The somewhat limited scope of this volume (only 4 sections–Custer’s Civil War years, the Indian Wars, the Little Big Horn, and the Custer Myth) isn’t really a drawback.  No surprises here either.  Custer is either vainglorious (his Indian war period) or a hero (the Civil War years), depending on which historian you read.  Essays by Robert Utley, Stanley Vestal, and Hutton highlight the volume.  Includes black-and-white photos and drawings.
