reviewed Gettysburg's Unknown Soldier: The Life, Death, and Celebrity of Amos Humiston on January 22, 2016 Gettysburg's Unknown Soldier: The Life, Death, and Celebrity of Amos Humiston
My mom borrowed this book to me knowing I'm a history buff like she is. I'm almost positive that she bought it from the Fort Abraham Lincoln gift shop at Ft. Lincoln in Mandan, ND years ago. I've always been interested in the story of The Little Bighorn, as there are so many sides to the story. The story is told almost as a memoir of life at Ft. Abraham Lincoln in the events leading up to the battle at Little Bighorn.
Pros: Stories of eating rattle snakes for dinner, using weeds as wedding flowers because of a drought summer, Native American children sneaking into the fort to catch a glimpse of the Christmas tree, descriptions of North Dakota seasons in all their brutality, and true Dakotan grit
Cons: The story was written long ago and contains many racial slurs. It also seems to be very biased about how "awesome" General Custer is. I also wonder how true the author's premonition was about the battle or if she later took credit for what might merely be a coincidence.
