In her first year of marriage (1864-1865) to General George
Armstrong Custer, Libbie Custer witnessed the Civil War firsthand.
Her experiences of danger, hardship, and excitement made ideal
material for a book, one that she worked on for years in later life
but ultimately never published.
In this volume, Arlene Reynolds has produced a readable
narrative of Libbie Custer's life during the war years by
chronologically reconstructing Libbie's original, unpublished notes
and diaries found in the archives of the Little Big Horn
Battlefield National Monument. In these reminiscences, Libbie
Custer adds striking, eloquent details to the Civil War story as
she describes her life both in camp and in Washington. Her stories
of incidents such as fording a swollen river sidesaddle on
horseback, dancing at the Inaugural Ball near President Lincoln,
and watching the massive review of the Army of the Potomac after
the surrender have the engrossing quality of a well-written
novel.
For general readers and students of women's history, this book
tells a fascinating story of a sheltered girl's maturation into a
courageous woman in the crucible of war. And for both devotees and
detractors of her husband, it offers an intimate glimpse into his
youth, West Point years, and early military service.
