Campaigns of General Custer in the North-West
Presented 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.
