In 1874, just two years before General George A. Custer's death at
Little Big Horn, a collection of his magazine articles was
published as "My Life on the Plains." Custer, General in the U.S.
Army's Seventh Cavalry, wrote personal accounts of his encounters
with Native Americans during the western Indian warfare of
1867-1869. The collection was a document of its time and an
important primary source for anyone interested in U.S. military
affairs and U.S./Native American relations. Custer's references to
Indians as "bloodthirsty savages" were tempered by his empathetic
understanding of their reason for fighting: "If I were an Indian, I
often think I would greatly prefer to cast my lot among those of my
people who adhered to the free open plains, rather than submit to
the confined limits of a reservation "
