Marc H. Abrams, Sioux War Dispatches, 1st Ed.

Description

In Sioux War Dispatches Marc Abrams uses correspondence from war reporters to tell the story of George A. Custer’s last campaign, as well as the rest of the Sioux Campaign of 1876-1877 as it occurred.

In addition to the reports from Custer’s campaign Abrams includes reports from the gold mining parties in the Black Hills. These intruders on Sioux lands inspired the resistance that led to the military campaign.

Peter Cozzens describes this wild gold rush in his new book Deadwood. Order your copy at the link and don’t miss our interview with Mr. Cozzens on August 28.
