SOLVED. point of view of horse of George Custer's horse [s]

[Lbaker]

My Grandfather told me about reading a book written in the point of view of George Custer's horse during the battle of little big horn. It is at least 10 years old.

This is an adult book, I'm sorry, I don't know anymore about it, but would like to read it.

Hum, I don't remember one about Custer's Horse. But there was one about Ben Franklin and a Mouse (Ben and Me: An Astonishing Life of Benjamin Franklin by His Good Mouse Amos) and about the horse of Paul Revere (Mr Revere and I ) so possibly Robert Lawson or someone inspired by him wrote one about Custer. I haven't thought about those books in YEARS. Think its time I checked the bookshelf of kids books and see if I still own either. :o)

There's the book Comanche: Story of America's Most Heroic Horse (no GR page; Amazon page), a story about the Battle of Little Bighorn told from the perspective of a horse, but that horse was owned by one of Custer's captains, not Custer himself. The copy I own was published in the 1950s, and I don't think it's been reprinted.

The book was fictionalized, but Comanche was a factual horse:

And just in case you or your grandfather would be interested, there's another war story told from the perspective of a horse, Traveller, Robert E. Lee's horse during the Civil War.

Could it be:

His Very Silence Speaks: Comanche--The Horse Who Survived Custer's Last Stand by Elizabeth Atwood Lawrence

I don't know if it helps but I think the horse he rode was Vic or Victory

I don't think it's this one, as it doesn't seem like something my grandpa would have read - he like'd Louie L'Amour western type books, probably because he was a cowboy when he was young.

I really appreciate everyone giving me advise about this - thank you so much for your help!

I'm so glad Comanche was the right one! Hope you're able to find a copy for your grandfather soon.
