- Beyond the Bighorn: The Afterlife of George Armstrong Custer: The Life and Death of George Armstrong Custer, #2
2
When George Armstrong Custer's famed military career ended with his death at the Battle of the Little Bighorn, his widow feared that her husband was going to be blamed for the defeat and made a scapegoat. Libbie began writing articles and scheduling speaking engagements throughout the country. She even collaborated with Buffalo Bill Cody to perpetuate the Custer mythology in his Wild West show. Even a cursory glance at the literature on William F. 'Buffalo Bill' Cody will turn up the connection between the West's greatest showman and its fall boy general, George Armstrong Custer. Indeed, the study of Cody has become so entangled with Custer as to make the two nearly inseparable.

Already established as an Indian fighter on the Great Plains, Lieutenant Colonel George Armstrong Custer's 1872 visit to Nebraska wasn't for war, but for entertainment. It was here the former Civil War Major General met the Grand Duke Alexis of Russia and Buffalo Bill Cody to engage in what is possibly the best-known big game hunt in the history of the world. After Custer's tragic death in 1876, Cody incorporated the buffalo hunt into his famous Wild West Show.
