KEYNOTE: A controversial leader, his beginnings, the time he lived in and his legendary Last Stand at Little Bighorn This book by renowned historian Mr. Steve Alexander traces the life and deeds of George Armstrong Custer from his beginnings to his famous Last Stand and death on June 25th, 1876 near the Little Big Horn River in south-eastern Montana Territory. Mr. Alexander's G.A. Custer to the Little Big Horn is an in-depth approach to the always controversial figure and a reflection on the man, his time and the myth through exhaustive research and understanding exuded after a whole life of study and dedication. Brilliant text and more that 200 period photographs and full colour pictures, many of them designed specifically for this book, are interwoven here to render a distinctive work which stands out among the myriad of books already published on the famous encounter between Custer's 7th Cavalry and the Lakota and Northern Cheyenne, led by Sitting Bull. The book also includes a prologue by Dr. Joseph Medicine Crow, last War Chief of the Crow tribe, and an impressive colour fold-out map with clear details of the famous battle. Proclaimed the Foremost Custer Living Historian by the United States Congress, Steve Alexander has been acknowledged by both the Michigan and Ohio Senates for his lifetime work and portrayal of America's most controversial military leader.
