{"product_id":"tenting-on-the-plains-volume-elizabeth-b-custer-9780806126685","title":"Tenting on the Plains, Volume 46: Or, General Custer in Kansas and Texas","description":"From the time of her husband's death at the Battle of the Little Big Horn until her own death fifty-seven years later, at the age of ninety, Mrs. George Armstrong Custer devoted herself to defending or embellishing her husband's reputation. This account, the second in Elizabeth's trilogy of her life with the General, focuses on the period immediately following the Civil War, when the Custers were stationed in Louisiana, Texas, and Kansas. She portrays the aftermath of the Civil War in Texas and life in Kansas while her husband took part in General Winfield Hancock's 1867 expedition against the Indians between the Arkansas and Platte rivers. Throughout, she provides detailed descriptions of an army officer's home life on the frontier during this major period of Indian unrest. This edition, an abridgment of the original 1887 edition, with an Introduction by Jane R. Stewart and a Foreword by Shirley A. Leckie, brings together in a single volume one of the most significant documents of the Old West, here made accessible to a new generation of readers.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Elizabeth Bacon Custer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 080612668X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780806126685\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Oklahoma Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/01\/1994\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 424\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.04lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.32h x 5.46w x 0.94d","brand":"Elizabeth Bacon Custer","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43926247768319,"sku":"9780806126685","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_1fdcfe0b-f85f-4521-8d2e-70615eefdc7d.jpg?v=1681082019","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/tenting-on-the-plains-volume-elizabeth-b-custer-9780806126685","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
