Custers Best: The Story of Company M, 7th Cavalry at the Little Bighorn

This is the story of George Custers best cavalry company at the 1876 Battle of the Little Bighorn Company M. With a tragically-flawed, but extremely brave Company Commander and a no-nonsense First Sergeant, Company M maintained a disciplined withdrawal from the skirmish line fighting, saving Major Marcus Renos entire detachment and possibly the rest of the regiment from annihilation. Presented here is the most-detailed work on a single company at the Little Bighorn ever written the product of multi-year research at archives across the country and detailed visits to the battlefield by a combat veteran who understands fields of fire, weapons effects, training, morale, decision-making, unit cohesion and the value of outstanding non-commissioned officers.
