Custer (Elizabeth C. B.)

Wikipedia says: Elizabeth Clift Bacon Custer (April 8, 1842 – April 4, 1933) was the wife of General George Armstrong Custer. She spent most of their marriage in relatively close proximity to him despite his numerous military campaigns as a commanding officer in the United States Cavalry. After his death, she became an outspoken advocate for her husband’s legacy through her popular books and lectures. Largely as a result of her endless campaigning on his behalf, Custer’s iconic portrayal as the gallant fallen hero amid the glory of ‘Custer’s Last Stand’ was a canon of American history for almost a century after his death.
