Widow’s Epic Tale of Romance Lives On 135 Years After Husband’s Death
Grass Valley, CA. – Elizabeth Bacon Custer spent more than 55 years defending her husband’s controversial military career and personal life. She championed General George Custer’s service with the 7th Cavalry and hailed him as one of the country’s greatest soldiers. Although she had proof that he was unfaithful to her, she spoke out against rumors he was promiscuous. The story of Elizabeth’s love and dedication to her famous spouse, and how she handled his betrayal, is the subject of a new book penned by Howard Kazanjian and Chris Enss entitled None Wounded, None Missing, All Dead: The Story of Elizabeth Bacon Custer. None Wounded, None Missing, All Dead: The Story of Elizabeth Bacon Custer, tells the story of the dashing couple’s romance, reveals their life of adventure throughout the West during the days of the Indian Wars, and recounts the tragic end of the 7th Cavalry and the aftermath for the wives.
“None Wounded, None Missing, All Dead: The Story of Elizabeth Bacon Custer, contains startling disclosures from freshly discovered documents revealing unknown facts about the most famous couple of the nineteenth century. This book is detailed, well documented, and historically valuable.” Chris Kortlander – Founding Director Custer Battlefield Museum
