Description

"Prelude to glory is the story of Custer's 1874 expedition to the Black Hills of South Dakota, as told by ... correspondents who accompanied him ... The two-month long trip from Fort Abraham Lincoln (Bismarck, N. Dak) to the Black Hills is described by five reporters, each with a different perspective. Supplementing the narrative of the newspaper dispatches, are marginal notes containing other newspaper articles and quotes relating to the events of the day. The book also contains reports and reminiscences by participants of the trip, including officers, scientists, and Custer himself"--WorldCat.org.
