Hello,
Thanks for the recomendations...next step finish current book and get the new ones. On Custer the problem I've been having with him throughout my life actually is everyone I come into contact with praises him. Obviously he was a dirtbag awesome cavlrymen but that that. On the flip side can anyone say wheather or not the stories of his brother being 20 times a better leader, fighter, and rider true or not. There are many i guess legends out here about them two but don't really know if they are true or not.

Example: At little big horn when the men were surrounded custer's brother basically says "F this" and ignores any thought of surrender or anything and begins to charge the indians alone unarmed.

Its things like that that make me want to get books on the two. My theory is if your interesting enough to have that many stories about you you had to be interesting to begin with.
thanks
greg
