From the time of her husband's death at the Battle of the Little
Big Horn until her own death fifty-seven years later, at the age of
ninety, Mrs. George Armstrong Custer devoted herself to defending
or embellishing her husband's reputation. This account, the second
in Elizabeth's trilogy of her life with the General, focuses on the
period immediately following the Civil War, when the Custers were
stationed in Louisiana, Texas, and Kansas. She portrays the
aftermath of the Civil War in Texas and life in Kansas while her
husband took part in General Winfield Hancock's 1867 expedition
against the Indians between the Arkansas and Platte rivers.
Throughout, she provides detailed descriptions of an army officer's
home life on the frontier during this major period of Indian
unrest. This edition, an abridgment of the original 1887 edition,
with an Introduction by Jane R. Stewart and a Foreword by Shirley
A. Leckie, brings together in a single volume one of the most
significant documents of the Old West, here made accessible to a
new generation of readers.
