First edition. 8vo. Blue cloth, gold stamping on front cover and spine, 394 pp., frontis., acknowledgment, illustrated, plates, portraits, maps, bibliography, index. A history of the life of Custer through and inclusive of the battle at the Little Big Horn. Luther High Spot 2 says "This book was written during the era when debunking was popular and pictures Custer in as unfavorable a light as possible in all situations. Van de Water writes in a bold and vigorous style. The contents so enraged General Hugh S. Johnson sufficiently to draw forth such comments as 'Adverse advocacy,' 'mere muckraking,' 'sounds like the musings of a daisy-crunching doughboy." Endpapers replaced, else a very good, tight copy in internally reinforced dust jacket with light wear to the spine ends, corners and extremities. LUTHER HIGH SPOT 2. HOWES V27. JENNEWEIN 52.
