Had Custer prevailed at the Little Bighorn, the victory would have been noteworthy at the moment, worthy of a few newspaper headlines, but only a few among the many battles with the Plains Indians. In defeat, however tactically inconsequential in the larger conflict, Custer became legend. In Inventing Custer, Edward Caudill and Paul Ashdown bridge the gap between the Custer who truly existed and the one we've immortalized and mythologized into legend in our generally accepted reading of American historyAmerican crisis series.GeneralsUnited StatesBiographyIndians of North AmericaWarsWest (U.S.)United StatesHistoryCivil War, 1861-1865BiographyGeneralsIndians of North AmericaWars973.8/2092Caudill Edward1634030Ashdown Paul1944-MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910827315303321Inventing Custer3974074UNINA
