Excerpt from Custer Battlefield: A History and Guide to the Battle of the Little BighornLater, in the Vietnam years, Custer became a different kind of symbol. For more than'a decade he personified all that was evil and brutal in America's historic treatment of the Indians and stood as a constant reminder of a deeply troubling guilt complex of the American people. Custer died for your sins proclaimed bumper stickers and the title of a best-selling plea for Indian rights. Custer and the Little Bighorn also became a metaphor for Vietnam. In the movie Little Big Man, a lunatic Custer staggered about the battlefield roaring with mad laughter, underscoring the parallel that many people already perceived between Vietnam and the Indian Wars.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
