Description
Elizabeth Custer chronicles the journey with her legendary husband, General George A. Custer, from the time of his leaving the Army of the Potomac, through Texas, New Orleans, and to the western frontier. Her descriptions of the daily rigors of travel, survival, and the people encountered, have become classic historical literature'and in this case, enlivened by the perceptive eye and mind of a woman who, in her own right, became a heroine of the time.Tags
