About This Item
New York, NY: Barnes & Noble, 1994. First Edition, First Pinting . Hardcover. COLLECTIBLE - NEW/New. BRAND NEW & Collectible. First published 1950; this is a reissue of 1994. Primary reference/resource. Anthology of letters exchanged between General George Armstrong Custer (1839 - 1876) and his wife Elizabeth Bacon Custer (1842 - 1933). General Custer was one of the youngest generals (1863) in the Union Army; he knew fine hours in the Civil War which were eclipsed from popular memories by his defeat and death by Sioux Indians Crazy Horse and Sitting Bull at the Battle of the Little Bighorn (1876), immortalized by the still ubiquitous phrase, "Custer's Last Stand." After his death, Mrs. Custer was advocate for her husband's legacy through books and lectures. Their letters are not only revealing of Custer's confrontation with Pickett, Stuart and other Southern leaders, postwar attempts to suppress carpet-baggers, and last stand at Big Horn, but also of Elizabeth Bascon Custer's views.
