General Custer's Final Hours: Correcting A Century of Misconceived History, Roger Darling — 1st Edition

Publication: Vienna, Virginia, Potomac-Western Press, Inc., 1992.

Formatting: 8vo, pp. 33.

Condition Report: Very Good. The vibrant yellow card wrappers remain remarkably bright and largely free from wear, presenting sharply with solid corners and clean edges, though a few faint, superficial indentations are visible to the rear panel upon close inspection. The staple binding is entirely secure and free from oxidation. Internally, the text block is immaculate; crisp, clean, and completely devoid of foxing, creases, or previous ownership markings, reflecting an unread state.

Catalogue Note: This is a first edition, second printing of Roger Darling's detailed historical analysis, issued in July 1992 following the original February printing. Published by the Potomac-Western Press in a modest, staple-bound pamphlet format, it reflects Darling's ongoing scholarly commitment to reassessing the events of the Little Bighorn. Darling, a recognised authority on the subject, provides a rigorous re-examination of Custer's movements.

While not an inherently rare title on the open market, well-preserved copies in such sharp condition remain desirable for collectors of American frontier military history.

In General Custer's Final Hours: Correcting A Century of Misconceived History, acclaimed historian Roger Darling meticulously reconstructs the tactical decisions and geographical movements of George Armstrong Custer leading up to the disastrous Battle of the Little Bighorn. Challenging long-held myths and ingrained historical narratives, Darling employs fresh topographical analysis and primary source scrutiny to offer a compelling reassessment of one of the American West's most scrutinised military engagements. This concise yet impactful tract is essential reading for both serious scholars of the Indian Wars and enthusiasts of frontier history seeking a clearer understanding of Custer's final, fatal actions.

Book Condition Guide

We stock thousands of books in a wide range of conditions. To make things clear and to help you know exactly what to expect, Please refer to these condition categories to understand the condition of the book you will receive.

Condition	Description
New	A brand-new, unread and professionally handled book. Carefully preserved from publication to purchase, these books are offered in the best attainable condition. This grade applies to recently published titles that have not entered long-term storage.
As New	The book is in pristine, original condition as if just published. No signs of use or handling. The dust jacket (if present) is equally flawless. This grade applies to any book that has remained untouched in storage for years.
Fine	The book is close to As New. It remains bright and attractive, but could show minor imperfections to the boards and/or dust jacket (if present). Its pages are typically clean and unmarked.
Near Fine	The book has a number of small flaws, i.e. slight rubbing to the edges, or tiny chips or creases to the dust jacket (if present). Its pages may have faint marks, or creases that are barely perceptible — nothing that detracts from their overall condition.
Very Good	The book maintains its structural integrity, and has no major flaws such as tears to its binding or pages. It may, however, show signs of careful use, handling, or storage — small marks and creases, light foxing. Its dust jacket (if present) remains fully intact, but small tears may be present.
Good	A book that remains intact and readable with complete text pages, but shows moderate signs of wear and use to both the book and dust jacket (if present). It may have noticeable creases, nicks, or stains, and the spine likely shows fading, bumping, and rubbing. There could be writing, underlining, and other marks on some pages, though the majority will be clean and tidy.
Fair	A book with significant wear or damage. The text pages will be complete, but there may be heavy underlining, highlighting and staining throughout, and the book’s endpapers, half-title, and copyright pages could be damaged or missing. The binding could be loose, and the dust jacket (if present) may have notable scuffs or tears. These copies are usually of interest for content, signature(s) or scarcity.
Poor	A heavily worn book whose value lies in its complete and legible text. A poor book will have substantial defects — loose joints or hinges, detached covers, loose and/or missing pages, and could be heavily soiled. A poor book is also known as a reading copy, and although compromised, can hold historical or bibliographic significance.
