Book Synopsis Boots and Saddles by : Elizabeth Bacon Custer
Download or read book Boots and Saddles written by Elizabeth Bacon Custer. This book was released on 1999-05. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Boots and Saddles is in reality a bright and sunny sketch of the life of Mrs. Custer's late husband, General George A. Custer, who fell at the battle of Little Big Horn. After the war, General Custer was sent to the Indian frontier. His wife was of the party and she is able to give in minute detail the story of her husband's varied career since she was almost always near the scene of his adventures. She touches on themes little canvassed by the civilian, and makes a volume equally redolent of a loving devotion to an honored husband and attractive as a picture of necessary duty by the soldier.

Book Synopsis Boots and Saddles by : Elizabeth Bacon Custer
Download or read book Boots and Saddles written by Elizabeth Bacon Custer. This book was released on 1885. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The honeymoon of Elizabeth Bacon and George Armstrong Custer was interrupted in 1864 by his call to duty with the Army of the Potomac. She begged to be allowed to go along, thus setting the pattern of her future life. From that time on, she accompanied General Custer on all of his major assignments, aside from the summer Indian campaigns - "The only woman," she said, "who always rode with the regiment." Her story, told by herself, is an absorbing adventure. Moreover, there is a added bonus - a gentle, loving portrait of George Armstrong Custer, husband and man, by the person who knew him best, his wife. Her absolute devotion to him is revealed in every line of her account, which ends, appropriately enough, with the day on which she received the news of the disaster at the Little Big Horn.

Book Synopsis Defending General Custer's Legacy: Complete Illustrated Trilogy by : Elizabeth Bacon Custer
Download or read book Defending General Custer's Legacy: Complete Illustrated Trilogy written by Elizabeth Bacon Custer. This book was released on 2023-11-12. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Elizabeth Bacon Custer began writing articles and making speaking engagements praising the glory of what she presented as her "martyred" husband, General George Armstrong Custer. Her three books—Boots and Saddles (1885), Tenting on the Plains—(1887), and Following the Guidon (1890) aimed at glorifying her dead husband's memory. Though generally considered to be largely factually accurate, they were clearly slanted in Custer's favor. Her efforts were successful. The image of a steely Custer leading his men against overwhelming odds only to be wiped out while defending their position to the last man became as much a part of American lore as the Alamo.
