Giddy up, cowgirls! Time travel with us to the 1870s as we read famously problematic wife Elizabeth Bacon Custer’s book "Boots and Saddles." This historical ho spent her whole life writing books defending husband General Custer’s legacy…obsessed much?! We try to cover it all and talk about plover sandwiches, the Sioux tribe, beautiful fabrics, wartime pranks, rewriting history, making love in saloons, getting drunk on lamp oil, our boy Ulysses S. Grant, horse death, and generally being a freaking guy's girl.
