With Custer on the Little Bighorn: the first-and only-eyewitness account ever written

By Taylor, William O.

Publishing Date: c1997

Classification: 900

Call Number: 973.82 TAY

William O. Taylor, a private in the U.S. Seventh Cavalry, spent two and a half days with his regiment in the valley below General George Custer's last battlefield. He spent one day up there burying the mutilated bodies of Custer's last stand and he spent thirty years haunted by his memories, writing this memoir in graphic detail. This young soldier blends savage bullet sprayed battle and bravado campsong on the misty brooding prairie with careful reconstruction of troop movements and comments on the behavior of the commanders and their men. His observations resonate with empathy--not only for the bodies of his own comrades strewn inthe sage brus, but for his enemy, "husband and father..a stalwart Sioux warrior."

Brothers in arms: the Kennedys, the Castros, and the politics of murder

By Russo, Gus

Publishing Date: 2009, c2008

Classification: 900

Call Number: 973.922 RUS

Using breakthrough reporting and interviews with long-silent sources, investigative journalist Russo and coauthor Molton have crafted a dramatic retelling of the time before, during, and after the JFK assassination. The book centers on the two opposed sets of brothers--the Kennedys and the Castros--who collectively authored one of modern history's most dangerous, and tragically ironic, chapters. Bobby Kennedy pushed for the murder of Fidel Castro and instead got the death of his beloved brother, a psychic blow from which he himself never recovered. Lee Harvey Oswald killed an admired president and traumatized a nation, but in so doing may have prevented a third world war. Built on thirty years of intense research--including discoveries so significant that they have rekindled CIA and State Department interest in the Kennedy assassination--this book provides extraordinary new facts that will force a reconsideration of how and why the Kennedy murder came to pass.--From publisher description.
