From the author of DANCES WITH SOLVES, a dazzling, intimate novel about America's doomed romantic hero George Armstrong Custer. No contemporary author portrays the American frontier as brilliantly as Michael Blake. As he demonstrated with his international bestseller DANCES WITH WOLVES, Blake has the creativity and imagination to transform the history of the West into vibrant, thrilling tales. Now he turns his eye toward George Custer, youngest general of the Civil War, trailblazer, Indian hunter, and, as Blake makes so clear in his novel, passionate lover, obsessive husband, and guilt-ridden man. Composed in the form of Custer's journal, MARCHING TO VALHALLA is a wonderful merger of fact and imagination, of the American past and the timeless human heart.
