Introduction by Brian C. Pohanka 65 b/w photos 22 drawings 10 maps 7 x 10 "The Custer Myth is truly a source book. Students of the Indian Wars will be forever indebted to Colonel Graham for his compilation and to Fred Dustin for his comprehensive bibliography." -The New York Times Immediately after news of the disaster at Little Bighorn spread across the nation in June of 1876 editors artists and writers made George A. Custer into the battles tragic hero. The laudatory biographies that followed and his widows desperate attempts to preserve her late husbands heroic memory soon elevated his reputation to mythic proportions. But historian and lawyer W. A. Graham (1875-1954) was not interested in the propaganda surrounding the Custer myth. In 1953 Stackpole first published William A. Grahams The Custer Myth a much-needed reference work that presents original source material without the bias of interpretations and misconstructions. Now available in paperback this classic study will continue to serve as an indispensable tool for every Custer researcher student and enthusiast.
