Kinsley's fast paced, colorful biography of George Armstrong Custer begins with the grand parade in Washington, D.C., celebrating the end of the Civil War. War hero Custer ""pranced up Pennsylvania Avenue on Don Juan, a magnificent, high-spirited, thoroughbred bay,"" dressed in the gold spurs Santa Anna wore at the siege of the Alamo and a star-emblazoned black turn-up, and stole the show when his horse bolted and he magnificently regain control. The book then follows Custer through his support of ""King Andy"" Johnson's ill-fated reconstruction policy and the political machinations and confusion that brought on the Indian wars and put ""Old Curly"" at the head of the 7th Cavalry, the ""Fightin' Seventh,"" the most glorious and notorious outfit in the U.S. Army. Just as he did in Volume I, FAVOR THE BOLD: Custer: The Civil War Years, the author sympathetically captures the whole of Custer's towering personality--his flamboyant romanticism, his tempestuous military career, his tender love for his wife Libby, his explosive temperament and terrible self-indulgence. Like him or not, readers in this anti-heroic age will delight in following his headlong pursuit of Glory and feel all the pathos of his vainglorious end at the Little Big Horn. Very readable and includes a section of very nice vintage photos, Epilogue and Index Contact Info:dakotaliterature@gmail.com"
