Summary

On May 17, 1876, Elizabeth Bacon Custer kissed her husband George goodbye and wished him good fortune in his efforts to fulfill the Army's orders to drive in the Indians who would not relocate to a reservation. The smartly dressed couple made for a splendid picture. This new biography of Elizabeth Bacon Custer tells the story of the dashing couple's romance, reveals their life of adventure throughout the West during the days of the Indian Wars, and recounts the tragic end of the 7th cavalry and the aftermath for the wives. Libbie Custer followed her itinerant army husband's career to its end--but she was also an amazing master of propaganda who sought to recreate George Armstrong Custer's image after Little Bighorn. Famous in her own time, she remains a fascinating character in American history.
