Synopsis
Elizabeth Bacon Custer was just a young girl when she fell in love with one of the most controversial Indian fighters of the middle 1800s, and barely a woman when she defied her father to marry him. She went on to earn literary fame as well as financial independence with her entertaining tales of frontier life as the wife of General George Custer. Her stories of life on the plains are as colorful today as when they first appeared over a century ago.

About AST Press
I have been selling books dealing with the Indian wars, especially George Custer, since 1986. I first published my own books under my own imprint of AST Press. More recently, I have published my books through other publishers, most notably the University of Oklahoma Press. I also buy and resell the book collections of other individuals. Other genres now include the Civil War, Old West, biographies and others. We are always open to by collections. I sell through our own web site, Indianwarsbooks.com, and others such as Biblio.com. I also continue to set up my inventory books at shows, including the Little Big Horn Associates, the Custer Battlefield Historical & Museum Assn. and Civil War shows.
