Libby Custer’s Letters Reveal Enduring Legacy

Two rare handwritten letters from Elizabeth Custer, penned in 1927 and glowing with unwavering admiration for her late husband, are set to debut at Montana’s Big Horn County Historical Museum—just as the 150th anniversary of the Battle of Little Bighorn draws crowds from across the nation. Libby, still fiercely devoted decades after George’s death, championed his legacy with relentless passion, turning every word into a tribute. Meanwhile, history buffs like Mike Badley, who traveled 1,500 miles from Ohio to reenact Custer’s cavalry band, see these letters as vital, soul-stirring connections to the past.
