After a year of retirement at the end of the Civil War, George Armstrong Custer is summoned by General Sheridan and appointed to the cavalry to quell the Indians of the Southern plains territory. Success in this area leads Sheridan to have Custer subdue the Sioux and Cheyenne of the Northern plains. Custer carries on an extra-marital affair with a young Indian girl. This novel is a prelude to the Battle of Little Big Horn.

Little Bighorn and Custer are names synonymous in the American imagination with unmatched bravery and spectacular defeat. Mythologized as Custer's Last Stand, the June 1876 battle was also, even in victory, the last stand for the Sioux and Cheyenne Indian nations. The author sketches in details about the two larger-than-life antagonists: Sitting Bull, and George Armstrong Custer.

Recounts the battle between the U.S. 7th Cavalry and an army of Sioux Indians, led by Sitting Bull, which left no survivors among the soldiers under Custer's command.

Loosely based on Custer's life, the series follows then-Lieutenant Colonel George Armstrong Custer as he leads a team of misfit cavalrymen in post-Civil War America. His maverick ways are a source of consternation to his commanding officer, General Terry, yet Custer's unyielding dedication to his beliefs ultimately earns him Terry's respect.

A biography of the boy who not only saw his dream to be a general come true, but also became the famous Indian fighter who led the attack against Crazy Horse and Sitting Bull at the Battle of the Little Big Horn.
