Title: The Custer story
First published: 1950
Description: The personal letters of General Custer and his wife Elizabeth Bacon, are well worth reading for their picture of frontier army life and for tracing Custer's career on the western plains. Both Custers were prolific and prolix letter-writers. Although the letters wer edited and pre-selected, they, along with Merington's running commentary, make this work deserving.
