Download or read book On the Plains with Custer written by Edwin L. Sabin and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2013-03-06 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This historical western was written before Custer was known as General, a time when those who knew and marched with Custer were still alive. Edwin L. Sabin tells the story of a man who was “as great in peace as in war” from the perspective of Ned Fletcher, a bugler who served under the general. From the westward expansion of Northern Pacific Railway, to Custer’s encounters with Sitting Bull and the famous Battle of the Little Bighorn, this account of Custer’s adventures is told in an engaging manner and is based upon extensive research. Sabin muses on what really happened at the Battle of Little Bighorn and weaves us a tale that seamlessly combines entertaining storytelling with factual accuracy. While there were no survivors from Custer’s Last Stand (or Battle of the Greasy Grass, as it is referred to by Native Americans), the author was able to piece out this quintessential American story from records, Mrs. Custer’s writings, and news articles from that time. With the help of the dutiful young soldier, Ned Fletcher, this story embodies what Sabin is best known for—western tales that imbue lessons in good and evil.

Mrs. Custer, his comrade of garrison and camp and march, has written several books about him. They lie before me. There is a biography by one Captain Whittaker, written at the close of the last battle, near forty years ago. With General Sheridan and General Custer upon their campaign against the Cheyennes and the Kiowas was a newspaper reporter, Randolph Keim, who also wrote a book.

Download or read book Crossing the Plains with Custer written by Paul Horsted and published by . This book was released on 2009-01-01 with total page 329 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Photographer William Illingworth captured images of great quality and clarity, while at least fifteen men were recording vivid accounts in their diaries, reports and newspaper dispatches. These elements are woven together here ... to form a narrative of day-to-day life on the trail. The earlier book told the story of exploring the Black Hills; here the focus is on the plains portion of the journey, much of which can still be followed across a vast and varied landscape. [This book] also adds a new dimension, recognizing that the explorers of 1874 left yet another kind of record in things they lost or discarded along the way -- tools, weapons, cartridges and horseshoes, utensils and buttons, cans and knives. The representative artifacts in these pages further enrich our experience of the Black Hills Expedition"--Dust jacket.
Download or read book My Life on the Plains written by George Armstrong Custer and published by Applewood Books. This book was released on 2009-09 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1874, just two years before General George A. Custer's death at Little Big Horn, a collection of his magazine articles was published as "My Life on the Plains." Custer, General in the U.S. Army's Seventh Cavalry, wrote personal accounts of his encounters with Native Americans during the western Indian warfare of 1867-1869. The collection was a document of its time and an important primary source for anyone interested in U.S. military affairs and U.S./Native American relations. Custer's references to Indians as "bloodthirsty savages" were tempered by his empathetic understanding of their reason for fighting: "If I were an Indian, I often think I would greatly prefer to cast my lot among those of my people who adhered to the free open plains, rather than submit to the confined limits of a reservation..."

Download or read book The Boy General written by Elizabeth B. Custer and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-27 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Boy General: Story of the Life of Major-General George A. Custer The boy general is a condensed sur vey Of the life Of major-general George Arm strong Custer, as told by his wife, Elizabeth B. Custer, in her matchless books, Tenting on the Plains, Following the Guidon, and Boots and Saddles. It summarizes General Custer's public services, from the reorganiza tion Of Texas after the Civil War and the sup pression Of the intended Mexican Invasion, to the pioneer work Of himself and his brave sol diers in opening up the Northwest. Sympathize as we may with the unfortunate Indian, we can but acknowledge that there is no longer any room on earth for uncivilized conditions to exist. Humanity is in the proc ess Of evolution toward a brotherhood that must be universal. The Earth is the Lord's. It is not the Indian's. It is not the White Man's. It must Open up for the good Of all men, each individual to use it for his highest development. In her descriptions Of the joys and sorrows, the glory and the grief, the courage and the sacrifices Of the daring troopers Of the Plains, Mrs. Custer has well served the purposes Of graver history, for her facts are indisputable and at first hand. She furnishes the original colors with which the future artist may paint, the action which the poet and novelist weave into song and romance. Her pages are crowd ed with pictures Oi a type Of life almost extinct. Washington Irving in his Indian stories drew On records Of a dead past. Mrs. Custer has drawn on living records Of an intense present. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is an expanded, posthumous version of Custer's "My Life on the Plains" with additional chapters.Whatever you think of George Armstrong Custer, his permanence in American Western history and the history of the Civil War are assured. That makes his writings on his life in the west and his observations of Indian life fascinating to read. It may be surprising to many that Custer felt that, despite his views of Indians largely conforming to those of his white contemporaries, he felt injustices had been done to the Native Americans. He also felt that if he were in their place, he would resent and resist being moved off of traditional lands.A number of other authors lent their talents to creating additional chapters for this 1891 edition. In addition, for the first time in this volume is General Hazen's criticism of Custer's book.
