Elizabeth Bacon Custer recalls the months after Appomattox, when her husband was sent from the Grand Review in Washington to command in Texas, and then the years at frontier posts in Kansas. She writes of marches, camp housekeeping, soldiers and officers’ wives, and the plains themselves, all with fierce loyalty to the General.
