The Custer Album: A Pictorial Biography of George Armstrong Custer

by Lawrence A. Frost

Overview

Was he a martyr or damned? A hero or a fool? This pictorial biography of George Armstrong Custer explores all facets of the legendary general from his boyhood to West Point, through the Civil War and his earlier battles, to his last stand. It shows Custer’s family, friends, and associates, military and civilian, white and Indian, at work and at play. More pictures of Custer-related people, places, and artifacts are assembled here than in any other book or museum collection.

About the Author

Lawrence A. Frost, who practiced podiatry in Monroe, Michigan, where Custer had a home, was the author of many books and articles on both Custer and Ulysses S. Grant. His library of material on Custer is considered one of the most complete in existence.

Editorial Reviews

The text is interwoven with some 238 photos and drawings of people, places (including five maps) and artifacts associated with Custer. This is a reprint of a 1964 work originally published by Superior Pub. (Seattle, WA). (UPBN previously--Sept. 90--characterized the paper as acidic; it is not, and we apologize for the error.)
