New Custer article & book

[Allen Wiener]

From new issue of "Smithsonian" magazine, yet another stab and dissecting/describing the battle. I just got the magazine in the mail today and only skimmed parts of the article. An interesting read, but I don't really see anything new here.

Interesting read, but nothing too new.

I got it too. Just haven't read it yet. Thanks for the link anyway.

There seems to be a lot of interest in Custer lately. There is an article focusing on Custer or involving Custer in the latest issues of:

1.) Armchair General - article about Custer at Washita
2.) Military Heritage - Custer vs. Stuart at Gettysburg
3.) Civil War Times - Judging Custer

I tried to get into "The Killing of Crazy Horse," but just couldn't, and I've been a devoted student of that period, its major figures and events since my teens. The author just goes down too many rabbit holes and digressing for too long on things that are barely peripheral to the matters at hand. After 75 pages or so, I began to see all this as padding in a book that, when all is said and done, has little or nothing new to say.
