This immaculately preserved first edition of Michael Blake’s “Marching to Valhalla” is a literary gem that transports readers to the fateful days leading up to George Armstrong Custer’s infamous last stand at the Battle of Little Bighorn. Blake, the Academy Award-winning author of “Dances with Wolves,” masterfully weaves historical fact with fictional narrative, offering a poignant and visceral account of Custer’s final campaign against the Sioux and Cheyenne tribes.
Through the eyes of Custer himself, as well as his officers and the Native American warriors, Blake paints a vivid tapestry of the American West, capturing the clash of cultures, the brutality of war, and the hubris of a man who would become a tragic figure in the annals of American history. This novel is a must-read for anyone fascinated by the enduring legacy of Custer, the Plains Indian Wars, and the complex interplay of myth and reality that surrounds this pivotal moment in the conquest of the American frontier.
