Elizabeth Bacon Custer and the Making of a Myth
Author:
Publisher: University of Oklahoma Press
ISBN: 9780806130965
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 452
Book Description
Georger Armstrong Custer’s death in 1876 at the Battle of the Little Big Horn left Elizabeth Bacon Custer a thirty-four-year-old widow who was deeply in debt. By the time she died fifty-seven years later she had achieved economic security, recognition as an author and lecturer, and the respect of numerous public figures. She had built the Custer legend, an idealized image of her husband as a brilliant military commander and a family man without personal failings. In Elizabeth Bacon Custer and the Making of a Myth, Shirley A. Leckie explores the life of "Libbie," a frontier army wife who willingly adhered to the social and religious restrictions of her day, yet used her authority as model wife and widow to influence events and ideology far beyond the private sphere.

Custer
Author: Jeffry D. Wert
Publisher: Simon and Schuster
ISBN: 1439129320
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 485
Book Description
George Armstrong Custer has been so heavily mythologized that the human being has been all but lost. Now, in the first complete biography in decades, Jeffry Wert reexamines the life of the famous soldier to give us Custer in all his colorful complexity. Although remembered today as the loser at Little Big Horn, Custer was the victor of many cavalry engagements in the Civil War. He played an important role in several battles in the Virginia theater of the war, including the Shenandoah campaign. Renowned for his fearlessness in battle, he was always in front of his troops, leading the charge. His men were fiercely loyal to him, and he was highly regarded by Sheridan and Grant as well. Some historians think he may have been the finest cavalry officer in the Union Army. But when he was assigned to the Indian wars on the Plains, life changed drastically for Custer. No longer was he in command of soldiers bound together by a cause they believed in. Discipline problems were rampant, and Custer's response to them earned him a court-martial. There were long lulls in the fighting, during which time Custer turned his attention elsewhere, often to his wife, Libbie Bacon Custer, to whom he was devoted. Their romance and marriage is a remarkable love story, told here in part through their personal correspondence. After Custer's death, Libbie would remain faithful to his memory until her own death nearly six decades later. Jeffry Wert carefully examines the events around the defeat at Little Big Horn, drawing on recent archeological findings and the latest scholarship. His evenhanded account of the dramatic battle puts Custer's performance, and that of his subordinates, in proper perspective. From beginning to end, this masterful biography peels off the layers of legend to reveal for us the real George Armstrong Custer.

Two of a Kind: An English Trifle
Author: Rosemary Edghill
Publisher: Cupid's Quill Press
ISBN:
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 313
Book Description
At the close of a disappointing London Season, Lady Juliette Devereaux accepts an invitation to a September house party in Sussex without much enthusiasm. Although she is heiress to the vast country estate of Chaceley, she has received no offers of marriage—and cannot imagine why. Known for her decisiveness and common sense, Juliette views marriage as a necessary arrangement, yet her search for a husband to help her run Chaceley has so far been fruitless. If she would only listen, her closest friends could tell her that her pragmatic approach to marriage isn't very fashionable—and neither are her clothes, for Juliette's brilliantly-hued gowns reveal a stubborn individuality and an unwillingness to follow anyone's council but her own. When the Marquess of Barham arrives in Sussex at the same house party, he is deeply in debt and has been banished from his ancestral home—and stubbornly refuses to do anything that might be considered remotely sensible. Juliette's prompt dismissal of the Marquess only piques his interest in her, and her refusal to consider him only complicates matters when it turns out he has a very practical answer to her problems—and his own.
