Custer, born October 31, 1818, in Washington County, Pennsylvania, had, for some forty years prior to the journey which he described in his letter published below, farmed in Fulton County and then in Cass County, Indiana, and operated a brickyard near Logansport. In 1880 he sold the brickyard and used his new-found leisure by setting out alone to see the western United States and to visit his brotherin-law, Colonel David P. Jenkins of Spokane Falls, Washington Territory. To make a western trip was not unusual in the 1880's. Many a farmer and small businessman scouted the country for good land or business opportunities, but the writing of a detailed report was unusual, and, as is customary with all such annals of ordinary folk, its preservation was mere chance. Men and women who aspire to or attain distinction often endeavor to preserve diaries, photographs, and other personal documents. On the other hand, farmers, mechanics, and small burghers are often enveloped in oblivion because their records do not immediately seem worth saving. The letter of Samuel A. Custer, which is in the Crew Papers, an unpublished collection of family papers, now in the possession of Arthur R. Hogue, gives an account of a middle-aged, well-to-do, but otherwise undistinguished small businessman who traveled through the West in 1880. He noted the means of transportation used, his impression of the towns he visited, the amusements he engaged in, and such things as had more than ordinary appeal. Undoubtedly Mrs. Elizabeth H. Crew, the "Sisternlaw" addressed in Custer's let'ter, should have the credit for its preservation, along with some two hundred other interesting items.
