Few figures in American history are as arresting as George
Armstrong Custer, America's Hostspur. His career ranged back and
forth from depths of disgrace to heights of glory. If he was no
classroom scholar, he was a magnetic battlefield commander. From
dead last in his 1861 class at West Point, he rocketed to the rank
of Brigadier General at the age of twenty-three. Along the way,
every step of his career was dogged by controversy. Readers will be
forever indebted to Elizabeth Bacon Custer for her trilogy of
first-hand accounts of life with the General. In "Following the
Guidon," she covers that period when Custer's career was again in
ascendancy. Custer was recalled to duty from "exile," after being
court-martialed, to help with the growing Indian wars. The first
major engagement, recounted here, is the Battle of the Washita.
