Custer's Last Shot; or, The Boy Trailer of the Little Horn
About This Book
The story follows a veteran trapper, a young scout, and their companions as they pursue missing allies and confront Indigenous war parties across the western plains. Action-driven chapters depict scouting, ambushes, cavalry charges, and the aftermath of a catastrophic engagement, alternating large-scale battle scenes with smaller personal clashes and scavenging of the dead. Vivid portraits of hardened frontiersmen and bold youths reveal motives of loyalty, vengeance, and survival, while an episodic structure shifts focus among daring rescues, individual reckonings, and the brutal consequences of frontier warfare.
