Title: Troopers with Custer
Author: E.A. Brininstool
Format: Hardcover w/dustjacket, 343 pages
Illustrations: B&W photos
Publisher: Bonanza Books, 1952
ISBN: N/A
Condition: Good, a crack in the gutter between pages 342-343, still tightly bound, former owner's name in ink on front pastedown. Dustjacket moderately soiled, worn along extremities and chipped on spine bottom and back edge.
Troopers with Custer, first published in 1925 as A Trooper with Custer, has been greatly expanded in text and illustrations, many from the author's greatly prized album of photographs showing the battle's important participants, on both sides, and the battlefield terrain itself. Many of the illustrations are shown here for the first time.
More incisively than many later writers, Brininstool considers the causes of Custer's defeat and questions the alleged cowardice of Major Marcus A. Reno. His exciting reenactment of the Battle of the Little Big Horn sets up the reader for a series of turns by its stars and supporting players. Besides Custer, they include Captain Frederick W. Benteen, the scouts Lieutenant Charles A. Varnum and "Lonesome Charley" Reynolds, the trumpeter John Martin, officers and troopers in the ranks who miraculously escaped death, the only surviving surgeon and the captain of the steamboat that carried the wounded away, the newspaperman who spread the news to the world, Comanche, the cavalry horse who survived the battle, and many others.
