Excerpt from George Armstrong Custer
Were I reading of one unknown to me, I should close this book with the thought that it was the fairest and frankest story of an intrepid soldier that his greatest admirers might demand.
General Custer"s victories in the Civil War are commended without exaggeration, his Indian campaigns described by one who perfectly understood the difficulties to be overcome and therefore could estimate at what cost success was attained.
So few do just what they want to do in this life. The author makes one know that he of whom he writes was one of that number.
General Custer was enthusiastic over his profession and entered upon his Indian campaigns commanding a few hundred men as buoyantly as when he had led thousands in the Civil War.
The responsibilities of the few leaders of the cavalry in the Army of the Potomac were very great.
