During separations enforced by the military, Lieutenant General
George A. Custer and his wife, Elizabeth, corresponded about the
Civil War, the perils of frontier life, and the chain of events
that would lead to his tragic death at the Little Big Horn in
Montana Territory. Their letters reveal the nuances of personal and
political loyalties rarely expressed by historians and novelists.
And they reveal a devotion rare among wartime marriages. He was her
"Autie," her "Darling Boy," and she was his "Libbie," his "Darling
Sunbeam."
When Elizabeth Custer died in 1933, after fifty-seven years of
widowhood, she left behind these treasured letters. Her friend and
literary executor, Marguerite Merington, edited them, adding
related materials and a thread of narrative reaching from Custer's
birth on an Ohio farm to the final fury at the Little Big Horn.
