Elizabeth Bodine (1898 - 1986) Humanitarian."I commend you for taking the time and effort to prepare this very helpful little resource for the spouses and families of our veterans. I find your description of the struggles of our combat veterans with the symptoms of PTSD to be very accurate." --A. Keith Ethridge, D. Dir., Nat. Chaplain Ctr.
"The author has written a clear and concise book grounded in her experience with her father and her research into this important subject.

George Armstrong Custer (1839 - 1876) Commander of Michigan's cavalry brigade in the Civil War, later killed in the Battle of the Little Bighorn Like a cavalry charge led by its celebrated subject, fast on the heels of Louise Barnett's Touched by Fire (Forecasts, Apr. 15) comes a second, even finer Custer bio from Wert (General James Longstreet) based on a broad spectrum of archival research and recent scholarship. Wert's Custer is eager for glory and greatness. At one time the Union's youngest general, Custer found both during the Civil War by establishing an unsurpassed record as a cavalry officer. He also made many enemies because of his flamboyant personal style, but his exuberant self-confidence carried him so far between 1861 and 1865 that, Wert contends, he saw no reason to change in the different environment of the postwar frontier army. According to the author, Custer resisted maturity and understood neither himself nor his new enemies, the Plains Indians. Custer took personal and professional risks, Wert shows, because he was most alive living on the edge. • George Armstrong Custer Books |
