I would like to explain why I didn't like this book..........2005-07-10
and why I did not find this book helpful.
My child is now eleven, the same age as Mary Fowler's child is at the end of the book. I picked up this book at the library because, after going through so many years, I thought it might be nice to see another parent's perspective.
Well, first it was nice to see that there is another child on this planet who is my son's twin! As far as behavior is concerned. That was *nice* to read about! On the other hand, her perspective is very different from mine on a lot of issues. She went a completely different route than we did - she had her child diagnosed with ADHD, and treated medically, and also she put him in a special program. We chose not do any of those things, but not because we didn't want to deal with it, rather, we felt a different approach would work better.
We did not want to go the medical route because we did not want to view him as "our child, the problem" and we wanted him to grow up normally. What we did do was all kinds of natural stuff, such as allergy testing, sensory integration therapy, physical therapy, but we kept him in a school setting. It was very hard, but we assumed that he would outgrow most of his more severe symptoms eventually, with lots of love, attention, and therapy. We also kept him in a regular school setting, and asked the teachers to accomodate him, plus got him help with homework, tutoring, etc.
I am not saying that our approach is better, simply that it was the approach that we chose. I don't think that anybody could make that decision for a parent, that is an individual decision that each person has to make on his own. But when I read this book, I knew why I made the decision that I did.
Throughout the book, Mary Fowler refers to her child as a "problem" child, with a terrible disease, ADHD. And it is so hard to have such a child, and nobody can understand how hard it is to have a child with ADHD, it is just so impossible. Well, I would like to say something. My child had severe ADHD, and believe me, it was not easy. However, in no way can the pain of having an ADHD child compare with the pain of a parent who has a child with cancer, for instance, or any other kind of severe medical condition. To call ADHD a "severe" medical condition is simply not true. The majority of the children with ADHD outgrow it as they get older, and almost all of them can lead normal, productive lives.
And even the behavior problems of a child with ADHD... well, I know parents who have real problems with their children, they are totally out of control, and these children - Surprise! - do NOT have ADHD. They may have anger management issues, depression - who knows? There are some children who are harder to raise than others. There are some children who really test every bit of patience that a parent can have. And there are children who are within "normal" range, and parents still have a hard time raising them. Even "easy" children come with their share of problems, too. So the attitude of "poor me" my child has a problem, and nobody can understand how hard it is for me to have a child with such a severe medical condition, well, I just don't go for that, I'm sorry. AND I am talking as someone who has gone through with my child everything Mary Fowler has, and more.
Sometimes we forget to remember the good parts of being a parent, the fun parts of just having a kid and enjoying him, sometimes we have to be reminded to just "enjoy" our children. A medical diagnosis, in my opinion, makes it too easy to focus on their symptoms - and you are constantly thinking in terms of how bad was he today? Is it time to adjust the medication? And you become so focused on constantly cataloguing all your child's symptoms, and you are also constantly reminded - my child has a problem, my child has ADHD, every time you have to remember what to say to report to the doctor, the therapist, whatever. And for me, by just focusing on my child as a kid, I think that it was easier for me, and easier for me to see all the good qualities that my child has, easier for me to allow him some slack (he liked to dig in the backyard all day? okay, some kids have more energy) and not looking at everthing he does as a symptom of a disease.
However, if the medical route is the route you wish to take, this book will be very helpful to you, as it has a lot of information as to what to do and where to go to get the most help.
But whatever you do, don't forget to sometimes just focus on you child's positive qualities (he has to have SOME positive qualities!) and just enjoy his childhood!
A Helpful Guide.......2001-09-14
I read this book in two nights. I would recommend it especially to any parent whose child has been recently diagnosed with ADHD. Especially informative where chapters regarding working with the school system and educators. Clear and easily understood information regarding diagnosis, evaluation, the IEP process, IDEA, 504 plans etc. would be especially helpful to parents entering into the educational system. Chapters on home behavior management and techniques, and information to help parents better understand our wonderful children who live with ADHD will help any parent be a better advocate for their child. Highly recommended, an easy and informative read.
Finally, a parent's perspective........1999-07-02
A wise and interesting book, and one of several you ought to read if your child has ADHD. Ms. Fowler includes a wealth of information about ADHD here (relying heavily on Russell Barkeley), but it's from a parent's perspective rather than a psychologist's or doctor's. It is well organized and easily read and understood; the end of each chapter contains a summary (great if you're ADD yourself!) which I found particularly helpful because I'm always looking back into books to find something I read earlier. Ms. Fowler's point of view is refreshing, too. She readily admits her mistakes and valiantly tries to find a way to look at her son and her family that is neither pathological nor mythological. I found this book to be useful, interesting, and, ultimately, inspirational. The only (tiny) quibble I have with it is that the "case study" is only one child. If you read very much about ADHD or ADD, you quickly learn that it manifests itself in a large number of ways. Looking at only one child (who has a pretty severe "case") may confuse parents whose child shows different manifestations of ADHD or ADD and lead them to believe that their family will not be affected very much unless the child is on the far end of the ADHD spectrum. For this reason, I heartily recommend this book but also recommend reading other books about ADHD as well.
A wonderful reference book for parents of children with ADD/.......1998-03-28
Whether you just recently found out that a child you care about is impacted by ADD/ADHD, or if you have known for some time, this book contains valuable information on treatment, education advocacy, and dealing with the trials that can accompany parenting someone with AD(H)D. Perhaps the best part though, is the guilt-reduction that occurs as Mary Fowler takes you through her personal journey of loving, and raising her ADHD son. This book is a "must-have" for parents and teachers alike!

Informative and easy to read........2001-01-04
The first third of the book is devoted to explaining what ADHD is, the diagnostic process, and potential causes of the disorder. Any parent who feels that bad parenting is the cause of ADHD (which we often hear from the uninformed) can take heart in her findings in Chapter 3. Here she describes the differences in the behavior of children with ADHD and the typical interactions that occur with parents. But she presents strong arguments against parental behavior being a cause of ADHD. She does point out the negative effects that poor child-rearing practices--beatings, whippings, name-calling-- can have on a child's behavior, as well as the changes that can occur with consistent discipline coupled with respect for the child. This chapter also includes an interesting synopsis of current brain research done to try to determine if ADHD is caused by brain malfunction. She concludes with the results of recent PET-scan studies that involved the frontal lobes, which are involved in regulating attention, activity, and emotional reaction.
The remainder of the book is devoted to what you can do about ADHD. She discusses medical treatment (medication) and therapy (including behavior modification). She also candidly discusses special problems that often occur in children with ADHD like bed-wetting, habitual lying, and stealing. She devotes an entire chapter to discussing the role of the school system, the homework battle and she has suggestions for gaining school cooperation.
The section on Behavior Management Programs for Classroom Use is great if you can convince your school to implement it. But you can also modify it for home use. It describes three models: Currency-based Token Economy, Happy Face Reinforcer, and Contracts. You may also find the "attention tape" a great help for the homework battle. Using the home-school report may be a way to gain greater cooperation for the help you request from your child's teacher. It could even be written into the IEP. This report is one where you target specific behaviors (let the teacher pick 2 or 3 that really present problems at school) to work on together. This list goes back and forth daily and forms the basis for certain privileges. It is a great tool if all parties use it faithfully.
Overall, this book contains so many great tips that it is a must for the reference library of any parent with an ADHD child.
A must for any parent of an ADHD child........1997-09-04
This book is a must for any parent of an ADHD child. This book should be a requirement for parents of ADHD/ADD children. It provides so much information and is a delight to read. Any parent of an ADHD child will find this book both entertaining and enlightening. As the parent of two ADHD children, this book has provided both valuable tools, techniques and insights on how to help my children grow and learn, and tidbits of wisdom and humor to help me cope and continue on.
This book helped me stop beating myself and start helping my children and myself. Barbara's book has been a God-send to me and should be on every ADHD child parent's nightstand.
Book Description
Introduction by Brian C. Pohanka, 65 b/w photos 22 drawings 10 maps 7 x 10 "The Custer Myth is truly a source book. Students of the Indian Wars will be forever indebted to Colonel Graham for his compilation and to Fred Dustin for his comprehensive bibliography." -The New York Times Immediately after news of the disaster at Little Bighorn spread across the nation in June of 1876, editors, artists, and writers made George A. Custer into the battle's tragic hero. The laudatory biographies that followed and his widow's desperate attempts to preserve her late husband's heroic memory soon elevated his reputation to mythic proportions. But historian and lawyer W. A. Graham (1875-1954) was not interested in the propaganda surrounding the Custer myth. In 1953 Stackpole first published William A. Graham's The Custer Myth, a much-needed reference work that presents original source material without the bias of interpretations and misconstructions. Now available in paperback, this classic study will continue to serve as an indispensable tool for every Custer researcher, student, and enthusiast.

An Army Officer's View.......2007-01-18
It was great to find a book published well over 50 years ago, so I could see what "spin" the author had on the battle. Surprisingly, the author did not laud Custer--the title comes from the author's belief that Custer was more made up than real. The author, though retired military, made what appeared to be a fair attempt to reconstruct the attacks from the Indian's point of view. The book does not compare to "Lakota Noon" in analysis, but the author states at the beginning he is just presenting the facts as reported by others. The book also contained other interesting information from Sitting Bull that even my boss, a Lakota, had not seen. Be warned, though: It's a long book with a lot of self-serving statements by Army officers.
THE Primary Resource on the Little Big Horn.......2004-05-05
It is my opinion that the three most famous battlefields on US soil are (in no particular order) the Little Big Horn, Gettysburg, and the Alamo. Each has a legion of students and enthusiasts accompanied by a number of printed resources. Stackpole Books has added to the printed resources on the Little Big Horn with its' collection of books known as The Custer Library. The most important of these books, in my opinion, is "The Custer Myth" It contains just about all of the available first person accounts of the battle known to exist. Many of the accounts are rather short but all are interesting. For the "Last Stand" buffs, it is like waking up on Christmas morning to find that you got everything you wanted except actual newsreel footage. For the casual observer of the subject, this may be the downfall of the book. After all, the stories greatly overlap and repeat each other. In doing so, they add another dimension of personalizing the battle even more. No Custer enthusiast should be without this book and no private library of American History is complete without it either. Do yourself a favor and add it to your library as well.
A brilliant resource........2003-07-01
This book gives no definitive answers on the biggest puzzles of Little Big Horn ... which is its greatest strength. By pulling together all the available testimony, from both sides and all angles, it's proof of how 'the fog of war' -- as well as participants' own agendas -- makes any battle more confusing to its participants than to those who come after. For the reader, piecing together the conflicting accounts, and assessing the characters/viewpoints/axes-to-grind of those giving them, it's a total immersion not just in the facts but in the feelings, prejudices and atmosphere of the time. A wonderful book. And one that should be basic training for every student of history, whatever their period. This is how history is.
A Vast Collection of Testimonies amd Letters on Custer & LBH.......2000-07-28
This is Graham's great collction of testimonies about Custer and the Little Big Horn from the Sioux, Cheyene, Rees, Crows, scouts, officers, soildiers and others. An incredible collection of material laid out in categorical chapters. Graham lays this often quoted collection out without prejudice and although he questions the Indian participant's accounts due to their lack of perception of exact time and spatial realities, he presents it all the same. What is quite fascinating are the virtual raw letters of Benteen to William Goldin. The letters show Benteen's bitter side particularly toward Custer and demonstrates that Reno was also not held highly on his list, if anyone was. Also, has Godfrey's great history of the battle and the book even includes challenging letters from Grahams critics to his personal responses. A great book for those that want to know all from multiple perspectives of the participants.
By far the most trustworthy book on Custer........1998-02-06
By far the best of the vast Custer literature. Graham gathers together in one place primary data and lets you draw your own conclusions. On Custer, Graham is the only author I have read who writes without massaging his data to support some preconcieved theory. This book, incidently, was published in 1953, not in 1993.(It would be helpful if Amazon would note first copyright dates in book listings.) This book was not bashed out to meet a schedule or catch a market window; Graham gathered data literally for decades. Being an army officer-- Judge Advocate Corp--gave him access to files and access to survivors who were eyewitnesses to the fight at Reno's end of the field.

Leckie does not judge Libby by modern standards.......1999-09-03
This is a beautifully written book, and very readable. Having read a lot about the history of the period I already knew how fiercely the widow Custer guarded her husband's reputation and how much she did to enhance it. Unlike many female authors might do, however, Leckie does not judge Libby by modern standards, but puts her in the context of her time. She also touches on the possibility that remaining Autie's widow may have been far more liberating for her, in her times, than it would have been to become Mrs. Someone else. During her husband's lifetime she lived in his shadow, but after his death she was able to use that connection to become an author and lecturer in her own right. She also left an estate valued at over $300,000, after her husband had managed only to put them into debt. Having read her memoirs like Boots and Saddles and Tenting on the Plains, it was clear that Mrs.Custer never gave much insite into her true feelings. Nothing seemed to upset her except a criticism of her husband. Inspite of this, though, Leckie does manage to make her into a real person. I found her epilogue truly moving, and I came away with an understanding of an historical character, whom up to this point, I hadn't much cared for.

Every Custer enthusiast and admirer should read this one.......1997-02-21
Sometimes, it's not how good you are, but how good your P.R. is that determines your reputation. And in the case of the (in)famous U.S. cavalry commander George Armstrong Custer, the P.R. was definitely good. Immediately after Custer's death (along with 200+ of his troops in what was, and arguably still is, the worst battle loss ever suffered by U.S. forces), his widow, Libbie Bacon Custer, began a propaganda campaign designed to secure her beloved husband's place in history. Unfortunately for history, she succeeded far too well. This book, a biography of Custer's widow, gives real insight into how she manipulated the media available to her in order to glorify her husband--or to be more accurate, to glorify her idealized portrait of her husband. Had Libbie not done her work so well, Custer would have been only a footnote in American History. In addition to providing a valuable supplement to the historical record concerning Custer, Ms. Leckie's book paints a masterly portrait of an exceptional woman, which is well worth the time of readers with little interest in Custer

Book Description
On June 25, 1876, George Armstrong Custer and his famed U.S. Seventh Cavalry attacked an encampment of Lakota and Cheyenne Indians. By the close of the day, the Battle of the Little Bighorn was over and Civil War hero Custer was dead, along with more than 200 of his men. It was a shocking, unexpected defeat for the dashing one-time Boy General; a magnificent victory for Sitting Bull, Crazy Horse, and their warriors--although it became a last gasp for the Indians' way of life.
The battle is over, but even now, 125 years later, Custer's Last Stand still fascinates and horrifies us, continuing to stir controversy and spark vigorous debate.
"Custer and the Little Bighorn" is the first major illustrated book to examine the life of this complex figure and this equally complex battle. Besides being lavishly illustrated--and the first true photographic history of Custer, his Civil War exploits, and his Last Stand--this detailed narrative examines the latest, groundbreaking research and archaeology of the most widely analyzed battle in our nation's history.
Jim Donovan also examines Custer's life in full, from his childhood and days at West Point through his glorious Civil War achievements and Indian-fighting career to his death on the Little Bighorn.

Nice Overview Of Custer and the LBH with Great Pictures.......2002-08-19
A large book well armed with pictures of not only Custer, his family, but also of key major military personnel, Forts, leading confederates and best of all, great Indian leaders. Besides the large presence of photographs, the book provides a nice compressed history of Custer from Birth to his postmortem. It's an accelerated read with direct references to historical events without gratuitous detail. In reference to his CW career, Donovan is a little light on Custer in the valley in 1864 as Custer has some conflicts with colleagues over such things as who earned the captured flags versus who actually took them. In addition, Custer's role at Five Forks is a bit large in contrast to the infantry's 5th Corps who crushed the isolated Confederate left. Overall, it's a pretty good overview of Custer's Civil War and pre- LBH western career. I do note that pictures sometimes fill in voids such as the destruction of Lt. Kidder's command and Custer's meeting with Satanta, which are missing from the narrative. The best part of the book deals with the LBH and the author pulls no punches in explaining what he thinks happened. His theory reflects Michno's "Lakota Noon" primarily in that he theorizes that Custer held his battalion on the east side of the river waiting for Reno and Benteen to rally to him to squeeze the Indians his battalion and theirs. But of course that does not happen and the command is destroyed. The author captures all the personal conflicts in command such as Reno's fitness and Benteen's pouting causing his leisurely stroll. The after the LBH evaluation is also quite good recognizing that several elements caused Custer's defeat, not just Custer's brashness, Reno's ineptness or Benteen's bitterness but the loss of surprise, the pressure to attack, the confidence of the Indians, their stubborn resistance capitalizing on the fractured commands and collapse and the primary fact that they didn't run like everyone perceived. Other elements include Crook's stepping out of the campaign with his 1300 men after the battle of the Rosebud the week before against smaller numbers then Custer. But also it's noted that Custer preferred the standard morning surprise attack but after discivering Indians on his back trail, he felt the need to attack immediately with reconnaissance done while on the move. Many forget that Colonel Reynolds inder Crook was nearly Court Martialed for botching the March Powder River attack. Although not mentioned directly, all commanders were under pressure to attack before the Indians dispersed. Terry's and Crook's subsequent post LBH campaigns attest to the Indian mobility challenge. The latter part of the book deals with the Custer legend based on writings, movies and historical hindsight that are based on the culture at the present, WWII era versus post Vietnam. This latter portion reminds of Hutton's great book the "Custer Reader" which is also worth a very good look since it also deals with participant' writings and fellow historians. This is a good book for those looking for a pretty good capsule on Custer that includes excellent pictures and an argument. Then they can venture into the books with greater analysis and detail and of course a greater feel for why the battle is so controversial.
A reader from Washington, DC.......2002-05-07
The most thorough and well-researched book I've ever read on Custer. The beautiful illustrations, supporting historical documents, and Dononvan's insightful analysis evoke the myth that is our American West. Custer embodies that myth. Donovan succeeds in humanizing this compelling, tragic man while celebrating his immortality. The author does an exceptional job of establishing and explaining the legend of Custer and why his last battle seized the imagination of the American public. Securing not just a place in American history, but in our culture.
so so.......2002-02-24
This was fun to read for the most part. There really is nothing new and I do take issue with the claim that this is" the first major illustrated work" on Custer. Lawrence Frost's book, The Custe Album, holds that distinction
What a great read!.......2001-06-19
Custer and the Little Bighorn was simply a great read! Not only are the illustrations and photos absolutely gorgeous - giving the reader a perfect visual context for the fascinating and tragic story of George Armstrong Custer, but once I started reading I couldn't put it down! The author obviously knows his history AND knows how to grab the reader's interest from the get-go and not give it up until after the final, bloody battle. This is a great coffee table book - with it's multitude of great photos, illustrations and maps. I think it's a terrific gift for any history buff - male or female, of any age. I'm keeping the first one I bought for myself, but it's also a definite on my gift-giving list for family and friends!

Book Description
Defeat and death at the Little Bighorn gave General George Custer and his Seventh Cavalry a kind of immortality. In Custer's Last Stand, Brian W. Dippie investigates the body of legend surrounding that battle on a bloody Sunday in 1876. His survey of the event in poems, novels, paintings, movies, jokes, and other ephemera amounts to a unique reflection on the national character.
Customer Reviews:
Interesting topic but..........2005-10-31
This book is rather dry and lifeless. It feels like Dippie wrote it for other college professors and not for the ordinary Joe with an interest in Custer. Perhaps it's best to read in small doses. Also, it was first published in 1976, and so much has been added to Custeriana since then that this book should be rewritten and updated.
A Wonderful Examination of the American Mythology.......2001-10-18
I read this book over the summer, and enjoyed it thoroughly. I may be biased (I have had classes under Dr. Dippie) but I found the book to be well thought out and a very fascinating look at a branch of American history that a lot of people forget about when they get concerned with who did what when. This book deals with the development of the American mythology, and is a delight to read. I highly recommend it.
All things Custer.......2000-11-14
When I bought this book I was looking for serious military/historical chronology of what happened at the Little Big Horn that hot Sunday of July in 1876. This book spends exactly 12 pages explaining the battle. The rest of the book is broken into sections describing how the event affected the American Psyche. Paintings of The Last Stand, poerty describing The Last Stand, novels, movies and jokes related to The Last Stand are all examined in depth here. There is a 12 page section of photos and illustrations. The defeat of an American army in the field by Indians on the 100th birthday of The United States sent shock waves through the Philadelphia Centennial Exposition where the visiting people were studying the wonders of modern technology, convinced that nothing could stop the progress of science and thus this country's western expansion. The different views of Custer and indeed our very government can be seen by how differently the event has been portrayed by various forms of the media. As an example of this think of any movies you may have seen about the battle, the older ones are very sympathtic towards the 7th Calvalry, showing the Indians as blood thirsty savages while the newer crop of films has reversed the roles of who was the blood thirsty savage. If you are looking for a hard core military examination of the battle pass on the book, if you are interested in an unusual study of the American response to an event no one ever expected, one which continues to fascinate us to this day, this book is for you.
