NCWM Gettysburg to Little Bighorn Custer Man and Myth by Dr Paul Andrew Hutton

Here’s Professor Paul Andrew Hutton giving a fine presentation on George Armstrong Custer as part of the National Civil War Museum’s “Gettysburg to Little Bighorn” symposium.

The video’s description reads, “Dr. Paul Andrew Hutton, Distinguished Professor of History at the University of New Mexico, delineates the between controversial cavalry officer George Armstrong Custer and the mythical George Armstrong Custer as depicted in popular culture, art, film, and media. He explains how society created images of Custer as both a martyr and villain—understandings mirrored by a changing America.”
