"Your articles on the Plains are by far the best I have ever read," - William T. Sherman to George Armstrong Custer
Two years before he became a legend at the Battle of the Little Bighorn, George Armstrong Custer penned his fascinating memoir, My Life on the Plains. Written when he was just thirty-four years old, it tells of his early years as a cavalry commander on America's military frontier and his part in the grim business of Indian warfare against the formidable tribes still resisting white encroachment. My Life on the Plains not only remains an important source for historians by a leading participant in the Indian Wars, but a red-blooded tale that can still evoke a vanishing frontier, the thrill of the buffalo chase, and the warlike panoply of Indian horsemen.
