Elizabeth Bacon Custerová bola americká autorka a verejná rečníčka, ktorá sa stala oddanou obhajkyňou dedičstva svojho manžela. Napriek jeho častým vojenským ťahom strávila väčšinu ich manželstva v jeho blízkosti. Po jeho smrti zasvätila svoj život presadzovaniu jeho pamiatky prostredníctvom svojich vplyvných kníh a prednášok. Jej vytrvalé úsilie zásadne prispelo k ikonickému obrazu jej manžela ako galantného hrdinu, ktorý sa stal pevnou súčasťou americkej histórie takmer sto rokov po jeho skone.
