Description
1889 Gen George CUSTER Tenting on the Plains Civil War Kansas Texas Indians
“There are not enough Indians in the world to defeat the Seventh Cavalry”
– General George Custer
A rare first edition of Elizabeth Custers Tenting on the Plains. Custer wrote this book with the attempt of creating a legacy for her husband, General George Custer. She succeeded. In fact, she is without doubt the most important force in creating a sense of legend around her late husband. She turned him into a Western hero and martyr, which slightly differs from the truth in his military failures.
Tenting on the Plains covers many of the stories of General Custers military career and personal life just after the Civil War – reports from Fort Riley in Kansas, military marches of the Seventh Cavalry, life on the prairie, and dispersal of the Army of the Potomac.
Contains full-page illustrations including portraits, views of buffaloes, stage-coach attacks, equestrian training, views of Texas and Kansas plains and landscapes, as well as picket lines by negroes and slaves!

Price: $750
