From the Back of the Book Cover:
This is undoubtedly a remarkable book on a period of American history about which much has been written - the period of the Indian wars in the Northwest, from the close of the Civil War until the Custer disaster on the Little Big Horn. It presents in graphic detail and on a vast canvas the great events and the small which reached a decisive crescendo in Custer’s fate. Here is no savage battle incident presented in isolation from other events, but a sweeping panorama of a whole ere-inept, hesitant, and tragic.
To insure comprehensiveness, the author describes the pertinent facts of the Grant administration, the embitterment of the Great Plains tribes, and the deteriorating Civil War army. The book is the record not only of the dashing Seventh Cavalry and its leader but also of the Grant-Custer feud, Sitting Bull, the Belknap scandal, Rain-in-the-Face, the battle strategy of the Indians, and Custer’s military rivals. Particular note is taken of the effect on history of Custer’s recklessness and glory-seeking and of the superstitions and fatalistic determination of the Sioux and the Cheyennes.
The Battle of the Little Big Horn, reconstructed in this account largely on Indian eyewitness testimony, climaxed the long-developing tragedy and provided a "smashing crescendo to the vacillating policy of the United States government...towards the Indians of the Great Plains."
A four color reproduction of an oil painting by John Hauser, entitled "The Challenge," has been selected for the cover of Custer’s Luck. The original canvas is in the collection of the Thomas Gilcrease Institute of American History and Art, Tulsa, Oklahoma, and the publishers gratefully acknowledge the cooperation of that organization in making this reproduction possible.

From the Publisher:
Anyone who has ever owned a sidearm holster knows the name John Bianchi, the Godfather of Gunleather – who revolutionized gun carry methods and handgun performance throughout the world. This biography tells the story of the man who founded Bianchi International – the world’s largest manufacturer of gunleather for police, military, and sportsmen. Bianchi set the “Gold Standard” for quality and innovation for millions of shooters, law enforcement, and military personnel around the world during the last half century. Written and photographed by award-winning photojournalist Dennis Adler, this 260-page, 9x12 in. hardcover deluxe landscape format publication is a must-have for any firearms enthusiast’s library.
John Bianchi – An American Legend – 50 Years of Gunleather features eight full color chapters covering the extraordinary life of this firearms industry innovator, former police officer, citizen soldier, industrialist, Western personality, and great American.
There are few names better known in the gunleather industry than John Bianchi. His remarkable innovations in holster designs and his lifelong fascination with Western history are as legendary as the millions of holsters that bear his name worldwide. John has been a friend and inspiration to many throughout his long career and I am not alone in my admiration. This carefully composed biography of John s life by noted author and firearms historian Dennis Adler is a must-read for all who believe in the American Dream and success story.
--James Arness - Gunsmoke's Marshal Matt Dillon
This biography is loaded with facts about Bianchi, including his passion for cowboys and the Old West, his military career, and why he created the Bianchi Cup action pistol competition. Dennis Adler has woven a lot from one-on-one interviews, including his close associations with famous actors and celebrities such as John Wayne, James Arness, Roy Rogers, Hugh O'Brian, Clayton Moore, Buddy Hackett and Sammy Davis Jr. There is an extensive history, well illustrated with color photographs. A fascinating story, well told, and the fabulous Western histographs that Bianchi produced years ago are worth the price of the book all by themselves. But there is so much more, topped off with an Appendix that includes brief reminiscences from a number of people who know or have worked with John Bianchi. This is the biography of a legend that is legendary in itself.
