Boots and Saddles
Author - Elizabeth B. Custer
Originally published 10 years after the death of her husband, Boots and Saddles, or Life in Dakota with General Custer is Elizabeth Bacon Custer’s account of the years she and General Custer spent at Fort Abraham Lincoln in present-day Mandan, North Dakota. It opens with her description of the April blizzard that stranded the 7th Cavalry in southern Dakota Territory (present-day South Dakota) on their way to Fort Lincoln in 1873, and ends with the day of the Battle of the Little Bighorn in 1876. Custer’s book presents a rarely-seen General Custer who is kind, chivalrous, pensive, and playful. Her personable writing style captures the reader’s attention as she becomes the unsung heroine of the memoir meant to glorify her husband. A must-read for history buffs and casual readers alike! |
