Description

pp. xx, 341 +Plus 16 illustrations including frontis. 12mo. 190mm. Original publisher's full green cloth binding decorated in blue, red, black and gilt depicting the Guidons of the US Army. Spine lettered in gilt. Covers clean and corners sharp. Spine and cover gilt bright. The author of this book was the wife of General George Armstrong Custer. She spent most of their marriage in relatively close proximity to him despite his numerous military campaigns as a commanding officer in the United States Cavalry. After his death, she became an outspoken advocate for her husband's legacy through her popular books and lectures. Largely as a result of her endless campaigning on his behalf, Custer's iconic portrayal as the gallant fallen hero amid the glory of 'Custer's Last Stand' was a canon of American history for almost a century after his death. Hardbound. Very Good. NW59
