About this listen

George Armstrong Custer attended West Point, graduating in the Class of 1861. He served as an officer in the United States Army during the Civil War. He was present at the Civil War's first major engagement, the First Battle of Bull Run, and was the officer who received General Robert E. Lee's Flag of Truce, marking Lee's surrender, at the end of the war.

Custer fought with the US Seventh Cavalry in the Indian Wars beginning in 1867. He was killed at the Battle of the Little Bighorn in 1876, a battle that has come to be known as Custer's Last Stand.

Good history

Nice to hear the history of plains and the battles on them during this heartbreaking time.

The life of a true American Icon!

An excellent book about the Indian Wars and life for the 7th Cavalry on the plains during during General Custers early campaigns to help bring peace and safety to the American frontier. These events are documented by General Custer a few years before he and his troopers become heroes during the Battle of Little Big Horn!!

Like listening to white noise...

I read the book and it's an excellent work by someone we're told was...less than bright. I had no problem finishing it. The audiobook is a struggle. It's like listening to the never-ending lecture. There is no color or creativity to it at all. It's an excellent insomnia treatment.

Stopped working about 1/4 through.

The audio file is corrupt. Waste of a credit. Had several glitches then outright stopped working abruptly.
