Join Paula Paschal, a retired schoolteacher, as she discusses the life and legacy of George Custer's widow, Elizabeth "Libbie" Bacon Custer. #AllenPublicLibrary #OnStageatAPL #ElizabethCuster
Thank You!!! By far, the best historical account I've ever heard. An amazing couple to be sure, the lecture has prompted the purchase of Libbie's books.
Thank you for uploading this and making Allen civic life accessible to all! I really, really, wanted to attend this, but as usual, I was too darn sick.
Custer never came to Houston. He purposely took his troops north through cold spring so that they would not get out of hand in houston. He then went from cold springs to cypress then to chappel hill then to hempstead.
Excellent content!! 😃 Thank you!! Custer did make Brigadier General @ 23 I Heard because he was a Brave, but Not Reckless Solider!! They Called him the Boy General!! Libby seemed like a Absolute Loyal Bride.... ( she may have done side work Too ) However she put her husband on a Pedestal Publicly!! She made sure people would Not Smear him, while she was Alive. As Fate would have it, she got Many Years to do it!! 1934 Wow!! Fascinating Story!!! Still Going 2021 🇺🇸 🙏 😂 👀 😇 👀 💪 🇺🇸 .1875. .C U S T E R S. .1934.
Did you read her three books? Libby didn't have a mean word to say about anybody. Custer's rep was kept alive by his troops that served with him during the Civil War.
@@31terikennedy I personally haven’t read her books. I just thought the narrator didn’t have all her facts in order. I have read Custer’s book, including those by other authors. Thx
@@MTknitter22 He did, with a Cheyenne, he's also mentioning in some of his writing during the trips on the plains, that during that time, most of the officers had an affair with a native woman, and that's why he was recognized at the little big horne, and he was not mutilated just like the most. Here, in these link at 24;47 is mentioning about Monasita, that was her name ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-sOtIME0_f6k.html
@@davidescozzi9885 I believe it was a daughter not a son. I understand a lot of the native Americans who where at the battle knew that one of their fallen foes was Custer because they had seen him years before. they also knew that he was a good warrior for the white men that's possibly a good reason for them leaving his body alone.
@@davidescozzi9885 Mo Nah Si Ta she was cheyenne 'wife of Custer. Two childs ;one his name is Yellow swallow; married by rituel cheyenne by greatrespect! never Custer is an ennemy of indian native. to read many historien ;always is fascinating...
Yes and this kills me. Also her accent. I am southern myself so maybe that's why but she seems nervous and childlike. I don't mean to insult her...I love history but??
