A powerful and yet nuanced tale of Custer’s war against the Indians as an agent of America’s westward expansionist campaign to dominate the Continent. The battles are there, but so is Custer’s wife, Libbie, who, having led a sheltered life, must adapt to Custer’s adventurous ways and the realities of life on the campaign. Interspersed is the story of Anne, who after six years as a Cheyenne captive, is rescued by Custer’s troops, though her two ‘half-breed’ children are not. She is neither a part of the white world she returns to nor the Indian life she left. An immensely absorbing tale.
