A Summer on the Plains with Custer's 7th Cavalry - The 1870 Diary of Annie Gibson Roberts by Annie Gibson Roberts and Brian C. Pohanka
Annie Roberts Yates was 27 years old when her soldier husband perished with his commander, George Armstrong Custer, at the battle of Little Bighorn. We catch occasional glimpses of Annie in Libbie Custer's memoirs, or in newspaper accounts of the sorrowful aftermath of Custer's Last Stand, a young widow dressed in mourning, her dark hair turned gray with grief. She remains as elusive as she is fascinating. Talented musician and vocalist, skilled rider and sharpshooter, accomplished linguist and devoted Shakespearean, self-critical and idealistic, practical and romantic Annie Yates was a most unusual woman.
