Puts human faces on the pages of history. Bruce Trinque "Custer and His Commands" is part of the series "G/I.: The Illustrated History of the American Soldier, His Uniform and His Equipment". Fortunately, George Custer and his men (both during the Civil War and the Plains Indian Wars) lived during the era of photography, so Mr. Cox depends mostly upon photographs to illustrate his subject and does not have to resort to drawings or paintings. And this means we have the opportunity to see. Rare and valuable photos reproduced, insightful text Mark Conrad This book reflects the large amount of study that the Custer legend has generated. The book shows and names officers, tells about them, and gives expert notes on uniforms and other aspects. High quality content in an inexpensive small book.Short on photos of enlisted men, no doubt because officers were far more likely to have their pictures taken and then have their families preserve them.
