Elizabeth "Libbie" Bacon Custer (April 8, 1842 - April 4, 1933) was the wife of General George Armstrong Custer. After his death, she became an outspoken advocate for her husband's legacy. Custer's portrayal as a gallant fallen hero and the glory of "Custer’s Last Stand" that were canons of American history for more than a century after his death was largely the result of her endless campaigning on his behalf.
