Boots and Saddles or, Life in Dakota with General Custer

Her entreaties to be allowed to travel along set the pattern of her future life. This is the story of Elizabeth B. Custer (1842-1933), told in her own words. She was not only a housewife on the Plains; she was whatever the occasion demanded.
