The honeymoon of Elizabeth Bacon and George Armstrong Custer was
interrupted in 1864 by his call to duty with the Army of the
Potomac. Her entreaties to be allowed to travel along set the
pattern of her future life. From that time onward, she did indeed
accompany General Custer on all his major assignments except the
summer Indian campaigns, "the only woman," she said, "who always
rode with the regiment." This is the story of Elizabeth B. Custer
(1842-1933), told in her own words. She was not only a housewife on
the Plains; she was whatever the occasion demanded: nurse to a
group of frostbitten soldiers; any-hour-of-the-day hostess to the
regiment, since her husband was not fond of entertaining; the
garrison's favorite confidante (and many an interesting story she
has to tell); and would-be Indian fighter whenever the women of the
regiment had to be left alone. Boots and Saddles also offers a
gentle, loving portrait of George Armstrong Custer, husband and
man, by the person who knew him best. Elizabeth Custer's absolute
devotion to him is revealed in every line of her story, which ends,
appropriately enough, with the day on which she received the news
of the disaster at Little Big Horn.
