CAMPAIGNS OF GENERAL CUSTER IN
CAMPAIGNS OF GENERAL CUSTER IN THE NORTH-WESTPresented in this lot is the Classic "Campaigns of General Custer in the North-West, And The Final Surrender of Sitting Bull" by Judson Elliott Walker, published 1881, reprinted Promontory Press New York 1966. Since the Battle of the Little Bighorn, George Armstrong Custer has possessed one of the most unique places in American history. Although he was a capable cavalry officer who served honorably during the Civil War, he remains one of the most instantly identifiable and famous military men in American history due to the fact he was killed during one of the country's most well known and ignominious defeats, the Battle of Little Bighorn. At the same time, this one relatively insignificant battle during America's Indian Wars has become one of the country's most mythologized events and continues to fascinate Americans. Judson Walker was a 19th century writer who wrote popular histories about the frontier, including books about General George Custer and the Sioux chief Sitting Bull. This red cloth bound hardcover is in good overall condition, very slight scuffing to cover edges. Intact pages exhibit extensive foxing, age tanning observed. Illustrated paper dust jacket exhibits small tears, foxing and age tanning. Measures 5.5"W x 8.5"L x .75"D

Chief Sitting Bull (1831 - 1890) of the Sioux Indians spent his life working for the right of his people to own and control their land. He was shot by the Indian police on a questionable charge of resisting arrest. George Armstrong Custer (1839 - 1876) was the youngest general in the US Army. He first saw action in the Civil War and was later stationed in the Dakota Territory during the gold rush on Sioux Land. In 1876 he led an attack against an Indian encampment at Little Big Horn. Sitting Bull and his men outnumbered Custer's regiment and easily defeated them, leaving no survivors. This jug was issued in a limited edition of 9,500 pieces.
