Louise Barnett talked about her book, "Touched by Fire: The Life, Death, and Mythic Afterlife of George Armstrong Custer", published by Henry Holt and Company.

She depicted a man who never adjusted to life after his success in leading volunteers in the Civil War and examined how the Battle of the Little Bighorn created him as both a mythic hero and villain. close
