The Custer Myth : A Source Book of Custeriana by Graham, William A. Format: PaperbackPublished by University of Nebraska, 1986 Immediately after news of the disaster at Little Bigh orn spread across the nation in June of 1876, editors, artists, and writers made George A. Custer into the battle's tragic hero. The laudatory biographies that followed and his widow's desperate attempts to preserve her late husband's heroic memory soon elevated his reputation to mythic proportions. But historian and lawyer W. A. Graham (1875-1954) was not interested in the propaganda surrounding the Custer myth. In 1953 Stackpole first published William A. Graham's The Custer Myth, a much-needed reference work that presents original source material without the bias of interpretations and misconstructions.Product image is for illustration purposes only and may not be an exact representation of the product offered for sale.
