This memoir is the story of their marriage and their life in the military, specifically the period from 1873 until Custer’s death at the Little Big Horn in June 1876. She was loyal to her husband in life and death-unflinchingly, unshakably.īright, petite, and determined, Elizabeth Bacon was only 21 when she married 25 year old “Boy General” George Armstrong Custer in 1864. Rather than a flaw, I see that as the book's central virtue. I've seen some criticism levelled at this book as being her attempt to convince the world that her husband was faultless. He didn't do it out of duty but because he couldn't resist. When he was off on a campaign, he would stay up late writing her letters, often til midnight when next morning's wakeup was then only three hours away. She was tough, courageous, resolved, and ever-devoted to her husband. She has a wry humor and a knack for storytelling. The value in reading something like this is that it gives you a much broader picture of Custer beyond the tactics and movements and battles described in other books about him. She describes the mundane happenings of daily life at an isolated Army post using a series of anecdotes which are skillfully strung together. ![]() ![]() ![]() This is his wife's answer to that question.
