Favor the bold

These are about the renowned Civil War Hero George Armstrong Custer. Volume one: 'Custer: The Civil War Years' describes Custers rise from a second leutenant just out of West Point to his successes as a bold cavelry officer to his being made a brevet Major General in the Union army.
Volume 2 (Which I own on of) covers the period from the end of the war to Custer's death in June of 1876 At the Little Big Horn.
