1885 General George Custer 1ed Boots and Saddles Cavalry
Illustrated Indians
“There are not enough Indians in the world to defeat the
Seventh Cavalry”
– General George Custer
‘Boots and Saddles’ is a famous work on the life and
military career of General George Custer, written by his wife, Elizabeth
Custer.
The honeymoon of Elizabeth Bacon and George Armstrong Custer
was interrupted in 1864 by his call to duty with the Army of the Potomac. She
begged to be allowed to go along, thus setting the pattern of her future life.
From that time on, she accompanied General Custer on all his major
assignments, aside from the summer Indian campaigns—"the only woman,"
she said, "who always rode with the regiment."
This 1885 printing was the first to include the portrait in
addition to the expected contents of Native American Indians, Sioux and Dakota
tribes, the Black Hills Expedition, the U.S. Army and Cavalry.
