JOHN GIBBON (1827-1896). John Gibbon was a Major General who fought in the Indian Wars the American Civil War, and the Great Sioux War. He fought in the Battle of Gettysburg and Second Battle of Bull Run. During his life, he published his famous Artillerists Manual and posthumously, Personal Recollections of the Civil War, and Adventures on the Western Frontier, along with many articles in magazines and journals. His writings typically center around his time in the West and his opinions on Native American government policies.Typescript. 5pgs. No date [circa mid 1870s]. No place. A typed outline of Rambles In The Rocky Mountains that was typed by either John Gibbon himself or his secretary. This series of articles was published in the American Catholic Quarterly Review in 1876 and included in a posthumously published book, Adventures on the Western Front, that depicts Gibbons time serving in the West during the 1870s. In this work, Gibbons short and concise writing style gives the reader glimpses into his life and shows how time in the West was spent. Gibbon discusses the Pikes Peak emigrants in the second chapter of this work, an event in the late 1850s where thousands of people left their homes to go to Pike Peak, Colorado for the gold rush they were experiencing. Later, he writes, First news of the battle of Bull Run, the first major battle of the Civil War. In chapter VII, he references the Great Sioux War of 1876, a war between the U. S. and Native Americans as the government wanted ownership over the Black Hills, a mountain range in South Dakota and Wyoming, that is now home to Mount Rushmore. His depictions of these important events are dispersed throughout the script, broken up with his day-to-day activities as a soldier, and descriptions of the West. The typescript is in very good condition with light stains on the first page.
