Drawing on her husband's letters to her, she describes the Seventh Cavalry's risky winter campaign that culminated in November 1868 with the capture of a Cheyenne village on the Washita River.Following the Guidon shows Libby Custer shuttling between summer camp near Fort Hays, Kansas, and winter quarters in Fort Leavenworth.

Libby accompanies the men on their hunting expeditions, relates the stories of scouts and teamsters, and always gives a human aspect to a difficult juncture in Custer's career.Following the Guidon, originally published in 1890.
