From Publishers’ Preface: For this year’s volume of the Lakeside Classics the publishers are presenting their readers with the personal narrative of General George A. Custer. It is a story of the part played by the United States Cavalry, under the command of this brilliant and colorful leader, in the clashes between the settlers and the Plains Indians resulting in the final subjugation of the latter. The publishers believe no history of the West would be complete without it and that its readers will enjoy it more fully if they orient themselves by reading Dr. Quaife’s Historical Introduction. The map facing the first chapter, drawn by Mrs. Robert K. Wyant from data supplied by him, will help serve this purpose.
