Custer had known Elizabeth Bacon as a child; however, the social gap kept them apart. in 1862, he was formally introduced to "Libbie" as a gallant young Civil War soldier. Judge Bacon, Libbie's father, was not happy with Custer, having witnessed him on a drunken spree. By the time Custer won her, he had sworn off drinking forever.
