Publisher's Summary
Set in the last parts of the Civil War, the audiobook chronicles the lives of both George Armstrong Custer and the main character David Cole (fictional) until that fateful day in a desolate plain in June of 1876 when they both are killed in battle.
With a Spielberg opening the listener is thrust into the audiobook and the adventure starts. With the listener knowing how it ends does not change the excitement of how the two end up at the Little Big Horn. Using extensive research of both Custer in war and his subsequent actions in the Indian wars the listener gets to see another side of him that is never shown in movies. The arrogant pompous fop was not who Custer was. The listener gets to meet the love of his life, “Libby” Custer known as the most beautiful woman in a town known for beautiful women.
David Cole is thrust into manhood when his father is killed in the Civil War leaving him to protect a herd of about 1,000 cattle from bandits, Indians, Mexican Army, and drought. The fictional town of the audiobook is in West Texas, an area untouched by the Civil War but at the epicenter of covert actions of the Mexican Government to subvert the United States by equipping the once non-hostile Apache with modern weapons and ammunition to go north and murder at will, without worry of interference by any army force nor a Texas Ranger Company.
Plus, there is a love story woven into the life of David that adds to the final bitter-sweet drama at the battle.
This is a very spiritual story. Not in the religious sense but as far a spirit guides and parts of this world most people can’t see that really exists.
The audiobook covers many aspects of the characters with the questions answered: Why didn’t Reno send ammunition to Custer or why did Custer’s men die in pairs?
Hollywood be damned. They got it wrong.
