Today we'll be learning about George Armstrong Custer as he was depicted in the classic 1941 film They Died with Their Boots On.
To help us separate fact from fiction in the movie, we’ll be chatting with Professor Gregory J. W. Urwin from Temple University. Gregory is a military historian and author of Custer Victorious: The Civil War Battles of General George Armstrong Custer.
