Summary
"Prelude to glory is the story of Custer's 1874 expedition to the Black Hills of South Dakota, as told by ... correspondents who accompanied him ... The two-month long trip from Fort Abraham Lincoln (Bismarck, N. Dak) to the Black Hills is described by five reporters, each with a different perspective. Supplementing the narrative of the newspaper dispatches, are marginal notes containing other newspaper articles and quotes relating to the events of the day.
