Review
Albert and Jennie Barnitz "were both perceptive, articulate individuals who fully realized that they were involved in fascinating historically important events. They have left a record of frontier military life that can scarcely be matched elsewhere. . . . Historian and buff alike will find this volume both enlightening and entertaining."--Paul A. Hutton, "Journal of American History"
-- Paul A. Hutton "Journal of American History"
"The reader will come to like Albert and Jennie Barnitz, whose letters trigger a time machine in which we come to know a good deal more about "Life in Custer''s Cavalry,""--"Montana"
"Albert Barnitz. . .served with Custer''s famed Seventh Cavalry for four years, 1867-70. . . . In 1867 Albert and Jennie (Platt), both of Ohio, married and headed for the Kansas frontier. Four months later the growing perils of Indian clashes forced her to return east. . . . [Their] letters and diaries, dated from January 17, 1867, to February 10, 1869, are vivid and accurate. . . . [They] provide a keen picture of life in the Seventh Cavalry, both in garrison and field, immediately after the Civil War."--"The Historian"
