Media Reviews
"Frederic F. Van de Water has written the Custer book to end all Custer books. . . . [It is] based upon profound research . . . [and a] thorough understanding of the motivations which shaped Custer's meteoric career."—Books "Mr. Van de Water has accumulated evidence until it can hardly be questioned. There is enough of it to damn the man as hard cruel, and irresponsible. . . . At any rate, the story has an epic movement, and at last is heart-stirring and somberly beautiful."—New York Times
