Summary "Tenting on the Plains; or, General Custer in Kansas and Texas" by Elizabeth B. Custer is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The book recounts the experiences of General George Armstrong Custer and his wife, Libbie, as they embark on a journey to Texas after the American Civil War. Through vivid descriptions and personal reflections, it likely explores themes of military life, post-war challenges, and the camaraderie between Custer, his troops, and family. The opening of the narrative sets a poignant tone as General Custer prepares for departure from the Army of the Potomac amidst a heartfelt farewell from his soldiers. Libbie Custer reflects on the emotional weight of their parting, suggesting a deep bond with the men under her husband's command. The reader is introduced to the excitement of the journey to Texas, marked by the chaotic joy of discharged soldiers aboard the train and Libbie’s own anxieties about the challenges they would face in this lawless land. As they travel, the couple encounters moments that highlight the abrupt transition from military life to their new frontier adventures, emphasizing both the excitement and uncertainty that lay ahead.
