The revised edition of American Trinity: Jefferson, Custer, and the Spirit of the West details the collision of European and Native American civilizations and the bloody aftermath that doomed a once-thriving people. Wide-ranging, painstakingly researched, and brimming with fresh insights, American Trinity is an engaging, accessible read on how the West was shaped by the implacable forces of Thomas Jefferson's Doctrine of Discovery, and Euro-American hubris as embodied by George Armstrong Custer.
