Another good book is "Custer and Crazy Horse". It paralells both their lives to the meeting at LBH. Most of the troops did not like Custer. He established harsh rules and harsher punishment. No drinking for the troopers, and he tied them to a wheel or hitching rail for drinking. On patrols, the troops would shot at him, 1970s version of "fragging". Troops shot Lt. Hamiltion by mistake on one patrol. Lt. Hamiltion was the grandson of Alexander Hamilton.
