  • Product Description

    A vivid cultural history of America's revered and despised frontier legend, this book is "a major addition to the history of American culture" (Kirkus Reviews). Dee Brown, author of Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee says "Custer aficionados who mistakenly believe that there is nothing more to know about Libbie and Autie had better have a look at Touched by Fire."
