THE NEW YORK HERALD, July 26, 1876
* General George Custer's massacre
* Little Big Horn - Sitting Bull
* Sioux Indians War
Page 6 has: "Custer's Last Battle" which introduces the report of the Crow Indian "Curley" who was the only survivor of the Custer Massacre, providing some editorial comment concerning Custer's bravery, etc.
The actual article is found on page 3 and takes 2 2/3 columns with some nice heads including: "CUSTER'S LAST FIGHT" "Some New & Interesting Details" "Where the Men Fell" "How They Were Buried & the Spots Marked" "The Daring of Custer" and more. Included is a lengthy list of the various names if those killed.
Also included is an article: "Custer's Battlefield" "Letter from an Eye-Witness--An Officer Who Was on the Ground--The Massacre A Scene of Horror".Also on this page is: "Sitting Bull's Country" and "The Custer Memorial".
As if this was not sufficient for one issue page 3 is mostly taken up with reports on the discovery of Stanley, the African explorer who had not been heard from in a year. And better yet page 4 is entirely taken up with a huge map of: "The Latest African Explorations".
Twelve pages, excellent condition.
