Have you read Old Custer by Eli Cash? Tom Send a noteboard - 06/11/2011 04:06:33 PM
Everyone knows Custer died at Little Bighorn, but this novel asks, "What if he didn't?". I would definitely avoid Wildcat, however, which noted reviewer M. Tenenbaum thoroughly trashed.
Political correctness is the pettiest form of casuistry.

ἡ δὲ κἀκ τριῶν τρυπημάτων ἐργαζομένη ἐνεκάλει τῇ φύσει, δυσφορουμένη, ὅτι δὴ μὴ καὶ τοὺς τιτθοὺς αὐτῇ εὐρύτερον ἢ νῦν εἰσι τρυπώη, ὅπως καὶ ἄλλην ἐνταῦθα μίξιν ἐπιτεχνᾶσθαι δυνατὴ εἴη. – Procopius

Ummaka qinnassa nīk!
