CUSTER BUFF

Born and raised in Montana and then studing the battle for the last 40 years and reading every book that was written,discarding many and keeping only those I felt signifigant, this is one that should be in every Custer buff's library. I have walked the Battlefield on three occasions and Henry Weibert's Sixty-Six Years in Custer's Shadow is one of the best, if not the best. I am very proud to own this book, made out to me and signed by Henry, number 257 of 1,000 copies, dated Aug 15. 1985.

Sixty-six Years in Custer's Shadow

Henry Weibert is the first writer to use logic and physical evidence when writing about the battle athe Little Big Horn. Weibert lived in the area around the battlefield for sixty-six years and spent a great deal of his free time studying the fight. He points out that Custer never attempted to cross the middle ford to charge the village as every lazy historian claims. There has never been one shred of evidence that indicated Custer ever got within half a mile of the ford. Weibert used his knowledge of the battlefield and the archeological finds of others as well as his own to show Custer's true route to his final destiny. Any reader who wants to read the true history of this battle should read this book!
