"Custer found himself in the one dilemma all soldiers most
dread--he was outnumbered and completely surrounded. With disaster
looming in every quarter and no chance of escape. . . ." So Gregory
J. W Urwin pulls the reader into a scene describing not the Battle
of the Little Big Horn but a Civil War engagement that George
Armstrong Custer and his troop survived, thanks to strategy as much
as naked courage.
Many books have focused on Custer's Last Stand in 1876, making
legend of total defeat. "Custer Victorious" is the first to examine
at length, with attention to primary sources, his brilliant Civil
War career.
Urwin writes: "None of Custer's exploits against the Plains
Indians could compare with those he performed while with the Army
of the Potomac." The leader of a brigade called "the Wolverines,"
Custer was promoted to major general and the helm of the Third
Cavalry Division when he was only twenty-four. Urwin describes the
Boy General's vital contributions to Union victories from
Gettysburg to Appomattox.
