Based on the 1984 biggest selling historical novel by Evan S, Connell, Son with the Morning Star won five Emmys if this first aired in 1991. Focusing on living and points in the General George Armstrong Custer, it takes up Custer's life near the end from the American Civil War, follows him through his involvement in famous Indian wars, and culminates using the battle of Little Big Horne. I particularly this way version since it attempts to get past the stereotypes and familiarizes you with the actual man; it gives you an excellent introduction to the personalities involved as well as the events leading up to and following the battle. Communal coaches include 2 dining cars per train, lounges and one observation coach bringing up the rear. The observation coach has enlarged windows to allow for greater panoramic views of passing countryside and also has an outdoor platform. Old world grace and charm are the keywords for the dining cars with their wood panels, soft candle light dinners and exquisite local and international cuisine served with South African wines.
