Norman, OK: University of Oklahoma Press, 1988 University of Oklahoma Press, Norman, OK. 1988. Hardcover. Stated First Edition. Book is tight, square, and unmarked. Book Condition: Near Fine; slight wear to bottom boards from shelving. DJ: Near Fine; light bumping of cover at head and tail. Blue cloth boards and spine with bright gilt lettering on spine. The Oklahoma Western Biographies Series. 226 pp 8vo. The Custer wielding his influence is the legendary Custer, not the real Custer, the immortal rather than the mortal. This book probes the mortal and immortal while also characterizing and interpreting the institutional context of both-the frontier army of the American West. The immortality rests in his frontier exploits. His mortality in the reckless sacrifice of troops in the quest of glory. A clean pristine copy.
