THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO PRESS | Publishing Fine Books and Journals Since 1891
book cover
Since you previously requested a free e-book from the University of Chicago Press, we thought you'd like to know about the December free e-book selection, Custerology: The Enduring Legacy of the Indian Wars and George Armstrong Custer by Michael A. Elliott.
 
Larry McMurtry said that “Michael Elliott’s Custerology is vivid, trenchant, engrossing, and important.… Custer has been the subject of very nearly incessant debate for almost a century and a half…. Mr. Elliott’'s book provides by far the best overview, and no one interested in the long-haired soldier whom the Indians called Son of the Morning Star can afford to miss it.” Easy to afford in the free e-book edition during the month of December.

Sale catalog image
Custerology is one of more than 670 books in the 2012 Great Chicago Book Sale going on now.

Sale prices start at $5.
Custerology is just $7 in a clothbound edition. Hundreds of books are $10 or less. Lots of gift editions at low prices. Take a look and use promo code AD9822 to get the sale prices. Quantities are limited so order early. See the catalog.
