Written by Elizabeth B. Custer, wife of General George Armstrong Custer, Boots and Saddles begins with Custer's assignment to Fort Lincoln in Dakota Territory, which would ultimately lead to his death at the Battle of the Little Bighorn. We experience first-hand the life at a frontier garrison on the fringes of hostile Indian Territory. We follow the lead-up to the tragic battle as if we were there. This fascinating story allows us to experience history in the words and visions of those who made it.
