Custers Next Stand Some Legends Never DieReally



May 4, 2005 -- General George Custer lives on in W. Jeffrey Dasovich's Adventurous Tale, McFarland.

Imagine Custer's stand at Little Big Horn wasn't his last. Imagine he went on to join a mysterious government agency, fighting injustice and wrongdoing years after that fateful event. Thus is the premise for W. Jeffrey Dasovich's new book, McFarland: The Life and Times of George Armstrong Custer After the Little Big Horn (Outskirts Press, 188 pgs.).

In this book, the legendary General George Custer receives an incredible makeover. Instead of perishing at Little Big Horn, this account has Custer surviving when he is miraculously saved from the battlefield by a group of Cheyenne women.

Though, this is only the beginning of his newfound journey. As he makes his long way back to civilization, he finds himself taking on a new life and a new identity. He also takes on a new line of work when he is suddenly recruited by an underground Federal government. This line of work brings him to adventures through Texas and the Oklahoma Territory, where he must destroy the "Bushwhacker" network--a group of former guerrilla soldiers bent on chaos and destruction. Custer's mission also brings him to New Orleans, where he must stop a terrorizing wave of white supremacists with the help of an ex-confederate general and the Cosa Nostra, a band of the most toughest and calculating criminals ever assembled in the country.

During these adventures, Custer finds himself desperately securing his identity and living on the edge, where one wrong step could spell his doom.

Dasovich was partly inspired to write McFarland to explain another side of the events at Little Big Horn. "The legend of Custer's survival has been around since the Battle," says Dasovich, who has been specializing in the area of General George Custer for over fifty years. "No one has satisfactorily proved that the legend is incorrect."

McFarland not only contains adventurous and intriguing plots, but also offers a deep insight of the past as well. Dasovich, who has conducted much research for the book, explains that "there is no stretching of history to make things fit." Therefore, the book provides many historical facts that shed light on the past and the people who shaped it. These facts also serve to make the adventures seem real and authentic, converging fantasy with reality.

Above all, the book is meant to be a fun and exciting read. Adds Dasovich, "There are few books written these days that one could consider 'fun' to read."
