General Custer in the American Civil War

I will be presenting an hour and a half talk on Custer in the Civil War to the Saginaw Civil War Round Table on Oct. 6.  That will be the first public discussion of this very interesting man who so polorized the opinions of those around him. 

His men did not care for him generally.  They thought he drove the men and horses too hard.  They also said he didn't accept the opinions of other officers.  He did accomplish many great feats in the Civil War though so much is to be said in his favor.
