About this Item

FIRST EDITION in Custer Trail Series red cloth with gilt decoration and titling in illustrated dust jacket, frontis, 1 illus., photos and map (listed) biblio, index, 203pp. Custer Trail Series, No. 9. 1,000 trade copies. O'Keefe #1949. As New in As New dust jacket; unread. Examines Curley's various testimonies, reviews his "escape map," and discusses the strange 1907 communications between the Crow scouts and Edward Curtis. The author attempts to find some solid ground in minefield of questionable sources, concluding Custer did ride up Weir Point and observe Reno's battalion; that Custer's comman did not descend into Medicine Tail Coulee by Cedar Coulee, but by Middle and West Coulee; that Curley did not enter the first stage of the Custer battle with the troops; and that there was a conspiracy by the army at the Reno Court of Inquiry to lessen any further embarassment to the U.S. military over the disaster at the Little Big Horn. A great Custeriana collectible in as new condition.
