The books detail events in Custer's life, including his experience in the American Civil War and his significant role in the Battle at Little Big Horn. O'Keefe's Custer is one of the most complete and detailed accounts of Custer currently available. O'Keefe himself has dedicated his life to the research, and currently serves as president of the Custer Battlefield Historical & Museum Association.
