After the Civil War Custer commanded the Seventh Cavalry in their battles with Native Americans. Unfortunately, two of his officers disliked Custer and this feeling spread somewhat to the other men. At the Battle of the Little Big Horn Custer split his command into three parts. When Custer and the 225 men with him were attacked by Native Americans, Custer sent a message back to Major Reno, Reno refused to come to Custer's aid. Custer and his 225 men were killed, but the 400 men in the other two parts of his command survived.
The author did a great job in presenting an objective portrayal of Custer and his controversial life. This was quite a challenge since more has been written about Custer than any other American except Abraham Lincoln.
