Elizabeth Rosser was the wife of Major General Thomas Lafayette Rosser. Rosser was born in Virginia but moved with his parents to Texas as a teenager. He was a class-mate and friend of Gen. Custer's at West Point. The two met in battle on at least two occasions: at the battle of Buckland Mills while in command of the Laurel Brigade Rosser defeated Custer roundly; Custer then defeated him at Woodstock the following year. Rosser eluded capture at Appomattox by charging through the Union lines with two cavalry divisions and escaping to Lynchburg. He was captured later near his wife's home in Hanover Court-House. After the war Rosser joined the Northern Pacific Railroad and superintended the construction of its line to Livingston Montana where he renewed his friendship with Custer whose troops often guarded Rosser's surveyors. He then joined the Canadian Pacific and in 1886 moved to Charlottesville Virginia. During the Spanish-American War President McKinley commissioned him a Brigadier-General in the U.S. Army and he commanded a brigade of Northern volunteers at Chickamauga. At the time of his death in 1910 he was Post Master of Charlottesville Virginia Richmond: Everett Waddey Company, 1895. hardcover books
