Here is the first book to examine at length, with attention to primary sources, Custer’s brilliant Civil War Career. The leader of a brigade called ‘the Wolverines’ Custer was promoted to major general at the helm of the Third Cavalry Division when he was only 24 years old. The author describes the Boy General’s vital contributions to Union victories from Gettysburg to Appomattox.
