In Marching to Valhalla, Blake turns his storyteller's eye on George Armstrong Custer, West Pointer, youngest Union general of the Civil War, horseman, passionate lover, explorer, ardent husband, and, most famously, Indian hunter. In Blake's pages, Custer emerges as a dashing, driven soldier, suspicious of his friends, respectful of his enemies, and ever unable to feel quite alive in the civilian world. Composed in the form of Custer's journal, Marching to Valhalla is an impeccable merging of fact and fiction, a powerful evocation of our bloody past, and a tribute to the endurance of a human heart facing adversity and disaster. A masterpiece of the Old West, Michael Blake's novel is a tragic romance that reveals a Custer never before imagined, and lets us finally contemplate the twisting, uncharted paths to glory and doom.

Marching to Valhalla
Marching to Valhalla: A Novel of Custer’s Last Days by Michael Blake (Villard Books 1996) (Fiction) (3556).
The conceit employed here is that Custer kept a journal until he died in battle. Author Michael Blake has written a narrative that convincingly captures the young general's spirit.
As I neared the end of the book, I was really looking forward to how the author would present Custer’s own account of the Battle of Little Bighorn.
You have surely spotted the fatal flaw in my reckoning: Custer could not have written a journal entry recounting the battle, for by the time the battle ended, Custer was in Valhalla.
Well duh.
My rating: 7/10, finished 7/31/21 (3556).
