About this listen
This national best-seller vividly reconstructs one of the most unbelievable and controversial battles in American military history—General Custer’s Last Stand in 1876. Why would a seasoned leader like Custer lead 200 U.S. Army soldiers into battle against 2,000 Native American warriors? The answer lies in this book, which captures in stunning detail the heroism, foolishness, and brutality that led to this legendary battle.

Son of the Morning Star
This audible account of Custer and the events revolving around his life and death was captivating. I especially found the satellite stories interesting and , at times, enlightening. Reno and Benteen’s contribution to the hillside debacle add to the mystery that has spawned so many varying opinions that will never be resolved. We do not know for sure what went on in their heads as the different battles enfolded. Their animosity towards the general surely played a part, but to what extent they played in reinforcing Custer leaves this to individual speculation. I interviewed a retired Ranger who used to be employed at the battlefield, and he stated that many opinions could be valid, as there were so many different events in this running battle that could not be proven. All in all, a good read and a good listen, well worth the time invested.

Fantastic!
This booked gripped me to the core so many times. It is not a biography of Custer but a biography of the battle of The Little Bighorn. It is a must read for anyone interested in Native American/European interactions on the Great Plains
