Brief description:
From the dust jacket:
The widow of General Custer has here told the story of life in a frontier garrison,
in the midst of Indian perils and alarms, far from the outposts of civilization. It is a
simple but dramatic account, filled with the details of life in a cavalry post, with Gen-
eral Custer as the central figure.
A real contribution to the annals of America, of vital interest in the study of our
westward expansion, this story has been delighting succeeding generations of readers for over fifty years, and has sold hundreds of thousands of copies. This new edition, entirely reset in larger type and in a larger size, has been issued in answer to the continuous publishing demand.
