Next time your in the Hardin MT area stop by Custer's battlefield, it will take your breath away when you understand how it all went down.

Sorry I am really late to this party but might I suggest Little Bighorn History Alliance Forums? It's essentially the ARFCOM of all things Little Bighorn, 7th Cav., and Custer. It's a real treasure trove of knowledge about those events and people. There are plenty of book suggestions found there too.

He’s buried in the cemetery at West Point.

Armstrong by H.W. Crocker is historical fiction/satire that has Custer surviving and describes his adventures as he tries to figure out who sold him out to the Indians. I enjoyed it quite a bit.

There's a good number of top Custer books, including his own "My Life on the Plains", and a book on the Little Big Horn told from the Indian side.

I've read a number of books on Custer and the Little Bighorn fight, but reading a book isn't the same as going out there and looking around and trying to figure out how it actually went down. CusterApollo sorta does that for you by giving a very educational 'tour' of the battlefield in which, in each separate video, he explains the various sequences of movement, where troop 'skirmish lines' formed up, and at what point the different companies under Custer's command engaged the Indians. It's very good work. He's made a lot of videos to watch, but if you want to skip some of the earlier ones on Custer's West Point & Civil War background, I'd start with the 'Crow's Nest' video and watch the vids in the remaining order from there. |

"Touched By Fire" by Louise Barnett is a fairly good read. It goes into Custer's life with his wife a good deal.

Know that a lot of the positive interpretations of GA Custer came about because the ardent support by his wife Libbie. She was definitely his best promoter, both while he was alive and most effectively when he'd been massacred.
