Hardcover. Condition: As New. Reprint. Hardcover facsimile edition in grey cloth, no dust jacket as issued, 53pp. Luther #31. Dowd #445. O'Keefe #1073. As New - appears unread/unopened. This is General Hazen's critical response to George Custer's over-enthusiastic report of the Northern Pacific Railroad country observed during the latter's 1873 Yellowstone Expedition. A bitter controversy developed between Hazen and Custer over this land, and the publication of this pamphlet was a part of the feud.

The pamphlet was published in 1875 and is rare today and expensive. Here is an opportunity to own a facsimile of the original publication. Hazen and Custer had a long history going back to when Custer was a cadet at West Point and Hazen was an artillery instructor.…

Light rubbing and hint of wear at spine ends. A VERY SCARCE BOOK TO LOCATE SIGNED BY THIS CIVIL WAR OFFICER. William Babcock Hazen (1830-1887) was a disciplined and fiercely principled American Army officer whose career spanned the nation's most turbulent decades. A West Point graduate, he earned distinction in the Civil War for his steady leadership under fire, rising from regimental command to become one of Sherman's most reliable division leaders-most famously seizing Fort McAllister to open the way to Savannah. After the war, Hazen's sharp mind and uncompromising integrity pushed him into new territory as Chief Signal Officer, where he championed scientific approaches to communication and weather forecasting that laid groundwork for the modern meteorological service. Known as much for his intellectual rigor as for his battlefield grit, Hazen left a legacy that blended military innovation, scientific advocacy, and a rare commitment to truth in an era rife with political maneuvering.
