"I've never been interested in Custer, until I saw this book on the bargain shelf. The telling of this is better than any fictional western I've ever read. Riveting and ultimately maddening in its storyline."
"OUTSTANDING! What an incredibly well researched book. I feel like a fool for having ignored for years on the mistaken belief that it was a novel.
