Since there are six weeks left in the current semester and I have no homework, I'm starting my spring Readings class, which will demand reading eight* books on Custer, including biographies of different periods of his life, topped off by a recent archaeological report on the battle at Little Big Horn.
So far, I've started his autobiography, and concluded he's kind of a dick. Hopefully the Indians will get him at some point.
* I have to do reports on 5, but to be able to speak historiographically about them, there are a couple more that will demand some attention.

Not likely. Nice guys finish last.
Did he go to Asia at some point? Or do you mean Native Americans? You Racist!
Does that get old for you? It never gets old for me.
The names really fly when you* refer to them** as "feather-not-dot Indians."
You know why they were here first? Because they had reservations.
* by which I mean, me.
** by which I mean, the guys hiding in my family tree, the discovery of whom caused my grandfather to give up genealogy forever. I'm not sure what he expected to find, but it obviously wasn't Indians.
