• Custer's Gatling Guns

  Never before has a historically accurate novel telling of the day-to-day journey to the Little Big Horn featuring interesting characters been written, including the Gatling Gun Battery commander and his men.
  
• Custer takes his three Gatling Guns with him instead of leaving them at the Yellowstone River.  The author, a retired Marine, came up with a plausible solution of how the heavy machine guns could have moved with the 7th Cavalry without slowing it down through rough terrain.
  
• The book has a “what if” flavor from beginning to the dramatic ending that any history buff will enjoy.  A rip-roaring tale of the 1870’s.
