"The world has a new hero — actually an old hero reimagined —
George Armstrong Custer, in this delightfully funny alternative
history that's better, or at least happier, than the real
thing."
*WINSTON GROOM, bestselling author of Forrest Gump and El Paso*
"Droll satire, this is the West as it might have been if the Sioux
hadn't saved us."
*STEPHEN COONTS, bestselling author of Flight of the Intruder and
Liberty's Last Stand*
"If Custer died for our sins, Armstrong resurrects him for our
delight. Not just the funniest book ever written about an Indian
massacre, but laugh out loud funny, period. The best
historical comic adventure since George MacDonald Fraser's
Flashman."
*PHILLIP JENNINGS, author of Nam-A-Rama and Goodbye Mexico*
"Crocker has created a hilarious hero for the ages. Armstrong rides
through the Old West setting right the wrongs,
and setting wrong the rights, in a very funny cascade of
satire, history, and even patriotism."
*ROB LONG, Emmy- and Golden Globes-nominated screenwriter and
co-executive producer of Cheers*
"I’ve thoroughly enjoyed Harry Crocker’s latest, a satirical
alternative history about Michigan’s own George Armstrong Custer,
simply and cleverly entitled Armstrong. In Crocker’s world,
Custer survived a butchering by Crazy Horse at the Battle of Little
Bighorn and has become a Victorian paladin and celebrity, doing
everything over the top and then some more beyond the top. Crocker
knows his history, so his anti-history is knock-down, pain in the
stomach, hilarious."
*BRADLEY J BIRZER, the Russell Amos Kirk Chair in History at
Hillsdale College and author of "In Defense of Andrew Jackson"*
"This is the kind of book young people should want to read, which
will challenge them and widen their horizons. It is part history,
part humor, part drama, and all-around entertainment."
*JAMES ROBBINS, author of "Erasing America: Losing Our Future by
Destroying Our Past."*
"A good read with a wonderful premise.... It does make one think
that George Armstrong Custer was a very good man in command during
a horrific battlefield defeat."
*Defense.info*
"If you like learning history while laughing, you'll like this
book...marvelous satire."
*DAVID LIMBAUGH, #1 bestselling author of The True Jesus and The
Great Destroyer: Barack Obama's War on the Republic*
"H.W. Crocker has irresistible fun with George Armstrong Custer...a
hilarious adventure."
*The American Spectator*
"The conservative novel of the year... Armstrong is a
rollicking work of alternate history that doesn’t sacrifice
accurate details or historical nuance for the sake of your
entertainment.... Armstrong’s Custer is a hero to love and
admire."
*GRACE HOUGHTON, The Conservative Book Club*
"Crocker’s Custer, a milk-drinking, sharp-shooting master of
disguises, takes us on a series of uproarious adventures in the
persona of Armstrong.... Armstrong is an extraordinary hero— a
military strategist, a courageous fighter and some sort of dog
whisperer to boot. He’s also a dashing romantic with a knack for
making women swoon....I’ll look forward to finding out where duty
calls Armstrong next."
*The Washington Examiner*
"A good, old-fashioned yarn....There is much to enjoy in Crocker's
book."
*AUSTIN RUSE, American Greatness*
"Action-packed and great for laughs... Fathers will love
reading this book with their sons. Patriots will love
it, too.... Prepare to delight in American history and heroism,
unencumbered by trigger warnings."
*The American Thinker*
