Fougera, Katherine Gibson. WITH CUSTER'S CAVALRY. 1942 From the memoirs of the late Katherine Gibson, widow of Captain Francis M. Gibson of the Seventh Cavalry, U.S.A. (Retired). 31 pp. photos and illustrations. Caldwell, ID: The Caxton Printers, 1942. Second printing. At Katherine Gibson's insistence, her husband, Lt. Francis M. Gibson, declined a transfer that would have placed him in the Battle of the Little Big Horn, though he was on the scene immediately afterward. His letters detailing the devastation, along with Mrs. Gibson's reports on the frightened women back at the army posts waiting for news, form the basis of this personal account of the days leading up to and following "Custer's Last Stand." In addition to providing candid glimpses of her good friends, the Custers, Mrs. Gibson also describes family life in the army during the 1870s and 1880s, with anecdotes concerning a gala wedding, a baby's funeral, a sewing bee, a buffalo stampede, a smallpox epidemic, etc. Minor patch of residue from a neatly removed bookplate to the front pastedown. Jacket price-clipped and slightly edgeworn, with some general mild browning and a few tape reinforcements to the verso; otherwise a very good copy of this scarce hardcover edition.
