In "Custer and Me," renowned western historian and expert on
historic preservation, Robert M. Utley, turns his talents to his
own life and career. Through lively personal narrative, Utley
offers an insider's view of Park Service workings and problems,
both at regional and national levels, during the Eisenhower,
Kennedy, Johnson, Nixon, Ford, and Carter administrations. Utley
also details the birth of the Western History Association, early
national historic-preservation programs, and the many clashes over
"symbolic possession" of what is now the Little Bighorn Battlefield
National Monument. Readers will discover how a teenager smitten
with Custermania came as an adult to appreciate the full complexity
of the Battle of the Little Bighorn and its interpretation and to
research and write narrative histories of the American West that
have appealed to popular audiences while winning highest honors
from the scholarly and writing communities.
