"The writings of Elizabeth Custer are well worth reading for their picture of frontier Army life and for tracing Custer's career on the western plains....Mrs. Custer was a charming and talented woman who idolized her husband. Although Elizabeth Custer may picture her Autie in the most favorable light, the books are revealing."---Tal Luther.
