[History Hounds] Ambitious Honor: George Armstrong Custer’s Life of Service and Lust for Fame with James E. Mueller, University of North Texas

George Armstrong Custer won fame as a brilliant cavalry commander whose military career ended in disaster at Little Bighorn. But was Custer an artist, not a soldier, at heart? Come learn how Custer’s passion for creativity and recognition led to both his successes and the failures that overshadowed his achievements.
