"A Trooper With Custer" is a compelling historical account that offers an intimate look at one of the most famous conflicts in American history: the Battle of the Little Bighorn. Written by noted Western historian E. A. Brininstool, this work serves as a vital record of the events surrounding General George Armstrong Custer and the 7th Cavalry. Drawing upon personal interviews, letters, and first-hand testimonies from survivors, the book provides a detailed perspective on the military maneuvers, the harsh realities of frontier life, and the chaotic moments of the battle itself.
This volume captures the voices of the troopers who lived through the Indian Wars of the late 19th century. Brininstool meticulously compiles these narratives to provide a balanced and vivid portrayal of the men on the ground. Readers will find insightful descriptions of the 1876 campaign, the tragic fate of Custer's command, and the broader context of the Plains Indian Wars.
