The little known history of General George Armstrong Custer and his wife, Libbie Custer, as wholehearted dog lovers. At the time of his death at Little Bighorn, they owned a rollicking pack of forty hunting dogs, including Scottish Deerhounds, Russian Wolfhounds, Greyhounds and Foxhounds. Told from a dog owner's perspective, this biography covers their first dogs during the Civil War and in Texas hunting on the Kansas and Dakota frontiers entertaining tourist buffalo hunters, including a Russian Archduke, English aristocrats and P. T. Barnum (all whom presented the general with hounds) Custer's attack on the Washita village (when he was accused of strangling his own dogs) and the 7th Cavalry's march to Little Bighorn with an analysis of rumors about a Last Stand dog. Custers' pack was re-homed after his death in the first national dog rescue effort. An appendix discusses depictions of the Custers' dogs in art, literature and film.
