Here is a review of two new books about the American West. The reviewer doesn't think highly of George Armstrong Custer, as I do. If you want a balanced treatment of the man, read Robert M. Utley's book Cavalier in Buckskin: George Armstrong Custer and the Western Military Frontier, rev. ed. (Norman: University of Oklahoma Press, 2001).
