The story is a thrillingly interesting one, charmingly told.... Mrs.
Custer gives sketches photographic in their fidelity to fact, and
touches them with the brush of the true artist just enough to give
them coloring. It is a charming volume, and the reader who begins it
will hardly lay it down until it is finished.--_Boston Traveller._
An admirable book. Mrs. Custer was almost as good a soldier as her
gallant husband, and her book breathes the true martial spirit.--_St.
Louis Republic._
BOOTS AND SADDLES; or, Life in Dakota with General Custer. With
Portrait of General Custer, and Map. Post 8vo, Cloth, Ornamental,
$1 50.
A book of adventure is interesting reading, especially when it is all
true, as is the case with "Boots and Saddles." ... Mrs. Custer does
not obtrude the fact that sunshine and solace went with her to tent
and fort, but it inheres in her narrative none the less, and as a
consequence "these simple annals of our daily life," as she calls
them, are never dull nor uninteresting.--_Evangelist,_ N. Y.
No better or more satisfactory life of General Custer could have been
written.... We know of no biographical work anywhere which we count
better than this.--_N. Y. Commercial Advertiser._
TENTING ON THE PLAINS; or, General Custer in Kansas and Texas.
Illustrated. Post 8vo, Cloth, $1 50.
Mrs. Custer was a keen observer.... The narrative abounds in vivid
description, in exciting incident, and gives us a realistic picture
of adventurous frontier life. This new edition will be
welcomed.--_Boston Advertiser._
