Book Synopsis Fighting Indians in the 7th United States Cavalry: By a member of Company "M" (Annotated) by : Ami Frank Mulford
Download or read book Fighting Indians in the 7th United States Cavalry: By a member of Company "M" (Annotated) written by Ami Frank Mulford and published by BIG BYTE BOOKS. This book was released on with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The smoke and dust had barely cleared from the Little Bighorn battlefield when, just shy of 90 days later, Frank Mulford joined the famous 7th Cavalry. The young Mulford met and fought alongside all of the survivors of the Little Bighorn: Captain Frederick Benteen, Captain Tucker French, Lieutenant Charles Varnum, Captain Edward Godfrey, and others whose names are now well-known to Custer students. Slightly one year after the Little Bighorn battle, Mulford was on the march with General Nelson Miles and Colonel Samuel Sturgis in pursuit of Chief Joseph. In this lively and humorous memoir, Mulford presents a real inside view of 7th Cavalry life. Not the glory or the heroic so much as the mud and the blood. "My bunkie and I bought some eggs—so we thought—from the steamboat Far West, and the eggs proved to be too far west." After surviving his first trial by fire in the battle with the Nez Perce, Mulford was seriously injured when his horse stumbled and fell on him. He eventually lost the use of both legs at the young age of 24 but somehow managed to retain his sense of humor to write this valuable addition to 7th Cavalry history. Like many Americans of his time, Mulford was a Custer worshiper and pined for the old commander whom he never met. But his account of cavalry life is a long-forgotten treasure of western history. For less than you'd spend on gas going to the library, this long out-of-print volume is available as an affordable, well-formatted book for e-readers and smartphones.

Book Synopsis My Service in Custer's 7th Cavalry (Annotated) by : General Hugh Lenox Scott
Download or read book My Service in Custer's 7th Cavalry (Annotated) written by General Hugh Lenox Scott and published by BIG BYTE BOOKS. This book was released on with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A newly-minted West Point lieutenant in 1876, he requested posting to George Armstrong Custer's 7th Cavalry just days after the general's death at the Battle of the Little Bighorn. He accompanied the brother of General Philip Sheridan to recover the remains of Custer and the other officers from the battlefield at the Little Bighorn in 1877. He met and befriended most of the important Plains Indians as well as figures like Buffalo Bill Cody, General Phil Sheridan, Frederick Remington, and others. He met "the idol of the 7th Cavalry," Captain Frederick Benteen, modeled his own style of command after Benteen, and remained friends with him until the latter's death. Fluent in Indian sign language, a true friend to Native Americans, probably no white man of his time was better at communicating with and gaining the trust of the tribes with which he worked than Hugh Lenox Scott. During his time in the west, he more than once turned down assignments to more desirable posts to remain working with the tribes. Of his fellow white citizens, he wrote: "...there is an inborn racial fear of the Indian in our minds, due to our ignorance of his thought, enhanced by the tales of scalping and bloodshed we were fed on in our youth." Many times, Scott put himself at great risk to avoid bloodshed between whites and Indians. This fascinating, exciting, and extremely important memoir is one that every student of American history should own and read repeatedly. Every memoir of the American West provides us with another view of the movement that changed the country forever. For the first time, this long out-of-print volume is available as an affordable, well-formatted book for e-readers and smartphones.

Book Synopsis Custer's Best by : French L. MacLean
Download or read book Custer's Best written by French L. MacLean and published by Schiffer Pub Limited. This book was released on 2011 with total page 239 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the story of George Custer's best cavalry company at the 1876 Battle of the Little Bighorn – Company M. With a tragically-flawed, but extremely brave Company Commander and a no-nonsense First Sergeant, Company M maintained a disciplined withdrawal from the skirmish line fighting, saving Major Marcus Reno's entire detachment and possibly the rest of the regiment from annihilation. Presented here is the most-detailed work on a single company at the Little Bighorn ever written – the product of multi-year research at archives across the country and detailed visits to the battlefield by a combat veteran who understands fields of fire, weapons' effects, training, morale, decision-making, unit cohesion and the value of outstanding non-commissioned officers.

Book Synopsis Deliverance from the Little Big Horn by : Joan Nabseth Stevenson
Download or read book Deliverance from the Little Big Horn written by Joan Nabseth Stevenson and published by University of Oklahoma Press. This book was released on 2012-11-09 with total page 227 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Of the three surgeons who accompanied Custer’s Seventh Cavalry on June 25, 1876, only the youngest, twenty-eight-year-old Henry Porter, survived that day’s ordeal, riding through a gauntlet of Indian attackers and up the steep bluffs to Major Marcus Reno’s hilltop position. But the story of Dr. Porter’s wartime exploits goes far beyond the battle itself. In this compelling narrative of military endurance and medical ingenuity, Joan Nabseth Stevenson opens a new window on the Battle of the Little Big Horn by re-creating the desperate struggle for survival during the fight and in its wake. As Stevenson recounts in gripping detail, Porter’s life-saving work on the battlefield began immediately, as he assumed the care of nearly sixty soldiers and two Indian scouts, attending to wounds and performing surgeries and amputations. He evacuated the critically wounded soldiers on mules and hand litters, embarking on a hazardous trek of fifteen miles that required two river crossings, the scaling of a steep cliff, and a treacherous descent into the safety of the steamboat Far West, waiting at the mouth of the Little Big Horn River. There began a harrowing 700-mile journey along the Yellowstone and Missouri Rivers to the post hospital at Fort Abraham Lincoln near Bismarck, Dakota Territory. With its new insights into the role and function of the army medical corps and the evolution of battlefield medicine, this unusual book will take its place both as a contribution to the history of the Great Sioux War and alongside such vivid historical novels as Son of the Morning Star and Little Big Man. It will also ensure that the selfless deeds of a lone “contract” surgeon—unrecognized to this day by the U.S. government—will never be forgotten.

Book Synopsis The Godfrey Diary of the Battle of the Little Bighorn by : Lieutenant Edward Settle Godfrey
Download or read book The Godfrey Diary of the Battle of the Little Bighorn written by Lieutenant Edward Settle Godfrey and published by BIG BYTE BOOKS. This book was released on 2014-10-20 with total page 98 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: REVISED WITH EXPANDED ANNOTATIONS IN 2021 Edward Settle Godfrey kept a diary of his time in General Custer's regiment during the fateful summer of 1876. Here you can read the entire diary from May to September along with Godfrey's 1892 Century Magazine article about the fight. Lieutenant Edward Settle Godfrey was commander of K Company of the 7th Cavalry in the battalion of Captain Frederick Benteen. Godfrey was a central figure in the Reno-Benteen defense over the 25th and 26th of June, 1876. The diary reveals anecdotes and observations of General Custer's mood and behavior before the fight on June 25th, as well as the desperate story of survival experienced by the battalions under Reno and Benteen. It also contains fascinating details about how the cavalry moved, camped, and relaxed during the days leading up to the fight. Exciting, gossipy, funny, and fascinating, every scholar and student of the Last Stand will find this engrossing. In 1892, (then Captain) Godfrey wrote what became a very famous and widely-read article for Century Magazine about the Battle of the Little Bighorn. Both of these documents are cited by most serious Custer books. Be sure to LOOK INSIDE by clicking the cover above or download a sample.
