Paul Andrew Hutton (ed.): The Custer ReaderUniversity of Nebraska Press, 1992America's most famously unfortunate soldier has been the subject of scores of books, but 'The Custer Reader' is unique as a substantial source of classic writings about and by him. Here is George Armstrong Custer as seen by himself, his contemporaries, and leading scholars. Those steeped in Custeriana will discover new insights in these pieces, some published for the first time, some difficult of access, assembled for easy reference. Those led by Custer's legend to make a fuller acquaintance will find here a reliable and complete introduction to his controversial personality and career and their transmogrification into myth. Combining first-person narratives, scholarly articles, photographic essays - as well as original selections by Robert M. Utley, Brian Dippie, Gregory J. W. Urwin, and Eric von Schmidt. 'The Custer Reader' contains four sections, each introduced by Paul Andrew Hutton. Jay Monaghan, Brian Dippie, Charles King, and Chief Joseph White Bull are among those who illuminate Custer's Civil War years; his role in the Indian wars, particularly the Battle of the Little Big Horn; and the evolution of the Custer myth.
Eric von Schmidt painting "Here Fell Custer"(picture sadly missing ;-)
Inside is a great article by Eric von Schmidt on the Sitting Bull's village at the time of the battle. A bonus for the article is a shot of an Eric von Schmidt painting. Another painting of the fight is used as the cover for the National Park brochure, which is also reproduced in the article
" ... "The Storming of the Alamo," a 10- by 23-foot epic painting of the historic scene by Eric von Schmidt. It's considered the most accurate ever produced. Well-known historians have acclaimed it. Kevin R. Young, president of the Alamo Battlefield Association, was quoted in an article about the painting in the Express-News on December 23, 1996 as saying that the painting was his favorite depiction of the Alamo battle. He said that "all the elements that you always read about, you see them. And there are little fine details and touches." (Frank Jennings)
Eric von Schmidt to be Honored with ASCAP Foundation Lifetime Achievement Award and Musical Salute by Folk Greats: Tom Rush, Maria Muldaur, Jim Kweskin, Chris Smither, Geoff Muldaur, Peter Wolf, Jim Rooney and Surprise Guests in Folk Event of the Year
ASCAP member Eric von Schmidt, a pioneering figure in the folk music explosion of the late '50s and early '60s, will be presented with The ASCAP Foundation Lifetime Achievement Award in Folk Music. The Award will be presented to von Schmidt at a special afternoon reception at Club Passim in Cambridge, Massachusetts on Sunday, June 11. In a salute to von Schmidt, who served as friend and mentor to many of the leading folk and blues artists who emerged from the Cambridge folk scene, a number of these performers will gather at Club Passim to perform songs written or popularized by von Schmidt. Among those participating in what promises to be an historic folk music event are Bill Keith, Jim Kweskin, Geoff Muldaur, Maria Muldaur, Jim Rooney, Tom Rush, Chris Smither, Peter Wolf, as well as surprise guests.
Eric von Schmidt, who also befriended and inspired Bob Dylan and Joan Baez early in their careers, is the writer of such songs as "My Love Come Rolling Down," "Light Rain," and the frequently recorded "Joshua Gone Barbados." He also popularized many once-forgotten traditional songs that are now folk and blues standards, including: "He Was a Friend of Mine," "Wasn't That a Mighty Storm," "Grizzly Bear" and "Baby, Let Me Follow You Down." von Schmidt is also a noted painter, muralist and illustrator whose art has adorned countless album covers as well as children's books and printed music collections. In addition, von Schmidt is the co-author, with Jim Rooney, of the definitive history of the Cambridge folk years, Baby, Let Me Follow You Down, (published by University of Massachussets Press). Club Passim, the center of the New England folk scene, is the successor to the legendary Club 47, where the careers of von Schmidt, Baez, Kweskin, Rush and many others were launched into success.
Previous recipients of The ASCAP Foundation Lifetime Achievement Award include: Guy Clark (country), Red Norvo (jazz), Rufus Thomas (R&B), George Rochberg (concert music), Ella Jenkins (children's music), Buddy Baker (Film & TV music) and Dave Van Ronk (folk). The ASCAP Foundation has, for more than twenty-five years, been a resource for the music community through the myriad programs it funds and/or administers, including scholarships, grants, awards, commissions, classroom and summer camp music education programs, and senior community service. The ASCAP Foundation was established in 1975 and is a publicly supported charitable organization exempt from federal taxation under IRC § 501 (c) (3).

"Harold von Schmidt (1893-1982) grew up in the West a generation after Remington and Russell, but had a close kinship with them and the old West throughout his painting career. A native Californian, von Schmidt was orphaned at age 5 and reared by his grandfather who had been a Forty-niner. His grandfather's stories together with his own experiences as a construction worker, lumberjack and cowhand gave him an authentic insight into the earlier era. He became a leading magazine illustrator with his work appearing mainly in The Saturday Evening Post for 20 years. Founder of the Famous Artists School in Westport."
