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.

Seller's Description:
Very Good. Reprint. Trade paperback. xxix, 276 pp. Illustrated. Introduction by Jane R. Stewart. A clean, attractive copy. "One of the motives that has actuated me in recalling these simple annals of our daily life has been to give a glimpse to civilians of garrison and camp life-about which they seem to have such a very imperfect knowledge. This ignorance exists especially with reference to anything pertaining to the cavalry which is almost invariably stationed on the extreme frontier. The isolation of the cavalry posts makes them quite inaccessible to travelers, and the exposure incident to meeting warlike Indians does not tempt the visits of friends or even of the venturesome tourist. Our life, therefore, was often as separate from the rest of the world as if we had been living on an island in the ocean."
