Book Reviews of Son of the Morning Star: Custer and The Little Bighorn

Book Review: "Son of the Morning Star" Sheds Much Light on American Character.
Summary: 5 Stars

As you might expect of a book hailed by Larry McMurtry as one of the best treatments of the Great Plains in American history, this book is an elegantly and devilishly plotted story of an elegant and devilish man, George Armstrong Custer. Taking as its central focus the Battle of the Little Bighorn,it spins out the stories of the other major players, including Crazy Horse, by weaving back and forth in time and across the vast prairies, and shows how the dishonest treatment of the Indians by our government led to violence and warfare that did not occur in, say, Canada. For anyone with an interest in American history, especially the period of westward expansion in the 19th Century, this book is essential reading.
