"In the years following the Civil War, Custer had gained a reputation as a bold and inventive leader of the calvary. After being temporarily forced into retirement, Custer was given command of an expedition to help subjugate the native people of the Great Plains and to force them onto reservations. Along the way, he enlisted the help of and eventually befriended many Indians, including Little Robe, Mo-nah-se-tah, and the son of Satanta, chief of the Kiowas."
"Taken from George Armstrong Custer's own writings, An Autobiography of General Custer is the true story of one of the most praised and most despised - though surely among the most remembered - American military heroes. Indeed few figures in ancient and recent history were as wildly cheered and roundly hated as General Custer."
"Taken from George Armstrong Custer's own writings, An Autobiography of General Custer is the ?true story? of one of the most praised, most despised, but surely most remembered American military heroes. Indeed, few figures in our history were?in their own time, as well as in our own?so wildly cheered and so roundly hated. Custer?s narration takes us from just after the Civil War, when, having gained a reputation as a bold and inventive leader of the cavalry, Custer was given command of an expedition to help subjugate the Native Peoples of the Great Plains and to force them onto reservations. His story touches on his own court martial and subsequent reinstatement to command. It ends shortly before he embarks upon the campaign that would eventually lead to the Battle of the Little Bighorn and ?Custer?s Last Stand.? As Custer was unable to write about his most famous battle, the Autobiography concludes with an 1880s newspaper account of an interview with Sitting Bull himself after his escape to Canada, in which the great Chief looks back on the battle and offers his own point of view. In the evenings, on post and during his various leaves, Custer would sit at the dining room table with his beloved wife, Libby, and together they would compose the various stories of his exploits that would eventually become the book My Life on the Plains, which was a bestseller in its time, and from which this autobiography is largely taken."
"As Custer was unable to write about his most famous battle, the Autobiography concludes with a newspaper journalist's account of an interview with Sitting Bull, who had since escaped to Canada. In this interview, which took place during the 1880s, the great Chief looks back on the battle and offers his own description of Custer's Last Stand."
"In the evenings, on post and during his various leaves, Custer would sit at the dining room table with his beloved wife, Libby, and together they would compose the various stories of his exploits. These stories would eventually become the book My Life on the Plains. A bestseller in its time, My Life on the Plains is the basis for Custer's autobiography."
"Through An Autobiography of General Custer, Custer provides many descriptive details about military life and events such as the establishment of Camp Supply, the Battle of Washita, and the rescue of Miss Morgan and Mrs. White, two women who had been kidnapped and help prisoner by the Cheyennes. Custer's last entry comes in the form of a report written during the Yellowstone Expedition of 1873. He is about to embark upon the campaign that would eventually lead to the Battle of Little Bighorn and "Custer's Last Stand" when his story comes to an end."
