Synopsis

Did you know that George Armstrong Custer survived the Battle of the Little Big Horn and became a gunslinging knight-errant in the West—aided by a troupe of Chinese acrobats, cancan-dancing girls, a rebel-flag-eyepatch-wearing Southern gambler, and a multilingual Crow Indian scout? H. W. Crocker’s rollicking, witty, adventurous new novel Armstrong is an alternative history like you’ve never read before.

Goodreads review by Curtis

ARMSTRONG, as our British cousins say, does what it says on the tin. It is a highflown historical fantasy, with George Armstrong Custer surviving the field of blood and death in windblown Montana to live and fight another day.

Quotes

“Droll satire, this is the West as it might have been if the Sioux hadn’t saved us.”

“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.”

“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.”
