At the time of his death at Little Bighorn, they owned a rollicking pack of 40 hunting dogs, including Scottish Deerhounds, Russian Wolfhounds, Greyhounds and Foxhounds. Told from a dog owner's perspective, this biography covers their first dogs during the Civil War and in Texas; hunting on the Kansas and Dakota frontiers; entertaining tourist buffalo hunters, including a Russian Archduke, English aristocrats and P. T. Barnum (all of whom presented the general with hounds); Custer's attack on the Washita village (when he was accused of strangling his own dogs); and the 7th Cavalry's march to Little Bighorn with an analysis of rumors about a Last Stand dog. The Custers' pack was re-homed after his death in the first national dog rescue effort. Well illustrated, the book includes an appendix giving depictions of the Custers' dogs in art, literature and film.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBrian Patrick Duggan\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of \u003ci\u003eSaluki: The Desert Hound and the English Travelers Who Brought It to the West\u003c\/i\u003e, and numerous articles on canine history which have been published in \u003ci\u003eAKC Family Dog, AKC Gazette, Greasy Grass: The Journal of the Custer Battlefield Historical \u0026amp; Museum Association\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eResearch Review: The Journal of the Little Big Horn Associates\u003c\/i\u003e, among others.
