She needs to meet the woman who is the reincarnation of Crazy Horse. I have a feeling they have a lot in common.

I think you are getting confused here DentedDagger, between 'Crazy Horse' and 'Silly Arse'. Hunk

The only documented instance of those two great friends, GAC and CH, being in the same place, at the same time, was 25th June 1876. There were clearly some tensions in the relationship that day from which it did not recover...
It would almost be worth the price of the book to find out how the author gets around this little difficulty.

There are some interesting comments on this book on the official LBHA message boards.

There sure are! Melani's review is a must read. Don't think this will be on my want list anytime soon.

I love Brian Dippie's review of the book: Anything concerning George Armstrong Custer reeks of the legendary. This book about his alleged child by Monahsetah, a Cheyenne woman taken prisoner at the battle of the Washita in 1868, is no exception. Gossip spread by Custer’s enemies in the 7th Cavalry––notably, Capt. Frederick Benteen––and stories repeated in Indian circles have kept the Custer-Monahsetah legend alive. Gail Kelly-Custer believes that she is the great great granddaughter of their Cheyenne marriage, and in Princess Monahsetah, she tells of their passionate devotion to one another and to Crazy Horse, Monahsetah’s relative and Custer’s best friend. The general’s other wife, the childless Libbie Custer, is cast as a jealous, cold-blooded shrew who cannot accept her husband’s equal love for two women. In short, this is not a history. It is a historical romance, in which Custer––an entirely honorable bigamist wounded by Libbie’s lack of understanding––and Monahsetah exchange long, soulful gazes before they consummate their union. Source: tiny.cc/d0q2mThe comments after Dippie's review are a riot. Friends of Gail Kelly-Custer -- the "Custer" no doubt added as further evidence of her pedigree -- all six of them -- came to her aid.
