Price volunteered for President Lincolns call for stronger federal troops and began his service as a first lieutenant in Company M, 2nd Regiment Cavalry, California Volunteers. He was quickly promoted to Captain and saw extensive duty throughout California, Utah, and Wyoming. During his post-Civil War service, he was with the U.S. 5th Cavalry and tasked with a variety of assignments which included participation in many Indian War campaigns.ALS. 4pgs. Cheyenne, Wyoming. March 18, 1880. An autograph letter signed Geo. F. Price to Eliza Johnston, the wife of Albert Sidney Johnston, discussing the engraving of her husband's bust. Dear Madam, Your esteemed favor of the 11th ins. is to hand. The enclosed photograph of Genl Johnston is mailed this day to my publisher for the information and guidance of the engraver. The engraving from Johnstons bust is selected as the model for our engraving, but in accordance with your opinion, as also that of Col. Johnston, the jaw and chin will be slightly advanced so as to show the latter naturally square with a slight cleft, as you say it appeared when in repose. I had, some time ago, submitted the engraving from Johnstons bust to the opinion of Colonel Barnett and Lt Col Royall, both having served in the old 2 Cavalry under Genl Johnston. They pronounced is a fair likeness and doubtful if the jaws and chin were too massive. The face as presented is a markedly striking one indicating growth force of character and nay feeling of regimental pride as strained more from making any change in it. But the judgment of those who are nearest and dearest to him will govern my actions, as I desire to pick such as nearly a perfect likeness as it is possible to secure, and I do not think that your suggestion can mind into effect will cause the face to lose any of its character, although it may not againis so striking an appearance. The photograph will be returned so soon as the engraver no longer requires it. I will take great pleasure in sending you a proof of the engraving and also a copy of the history of the regiment of which your husband was the first colonel and which to the hour of his deathlasting the unfortunate difference of the war. He honored and loved as it had honored and loved him. With the assurance of my respect and esteem, I remain Madam, Your obedient servant, Geo. F. Price.

Russell was established in Cheyenne in 1867, the same year it was granted a permanent city charter. Wyoming would become a state ten years after this letter.
