The battle of Fort Apache...



Item # 682456

September 05, 1881

THE PHILADELPHIA PRESS, Sept. 5, 1881  

* Battle of Fort Apache
* Indian massacre ?
* Eugene Asa Carr


The front page has most of a column taken up with what is known as the Battle of Fort Apache, which occurred in eastern Arizona Territory on September 1.
The top of a column is headed: "THE APACHE MASSACRE" "Confirmations of the Disaster To General Carr's Command" "The Indians Recklessly Brave and Defiant--Hurrying Reinforcements Forward--The Origin of the Troubles as Detailed by an Officer of the 6th Cavalry".
A fine and detailed account.
Eight pages, some margin chipping and some margin tears, generally good condition but it must be handled carefully.
