Once upon a time, I was married to someone whose birthday happened to fall on the fateful anniversary of the Battle of Little Bighorn (day 1). By the time he was a teenager, he had read everything he could find about George Armstrong Custer and was fascinated by Custer's arc of life. As I watched "In the Garden of American Heroes" unfold, all the stories I had heard and read were dancing feverishly in my memory; dancing with Andrew Wheeler's exquisite storytelling, backed up by his faithful research and the compelling commitment he has as an artist of great conscience. Thank you, Andrew. Thank you for your powerful writing. Thank you for once again making an artistic journey with the extraordinary director, Matt Sciple. Thank you, Matt, for collaborating with such dimension that Andrew soars to an entirely new level. I'm not sure that I would have believed it possible. Brilliant. Simply brilliant.
