During the Civil War, James Harvey Kidd fought alongside General George Armstrong Custer as a member of the 6th Michigan Cavalry—the Wolverines. After the war, Kidd served as brigadier general in the Michigan National Guard and, upon returning to his civilian career as a newspaperman, published two newspapers in his hometown.
Eric J. Wittenberg presents many of this newspaperman’s captivating writings in their original form. Kidd wrote eloquently about his Civil War experiences, especially his service with Custer. His speech given at the dedication of the Custer monument in Monroe, Michigan is particularly important, as it provides readers with one of the first revisionist views of the tragedy that befell Custer at Little Big Horn.
Much like Wittenberg’s first book of Kidd’s writings, this latest collection offers insightful, articulate, and entertaining commentary on what it was like to serve in the Civil War and with “the boy general.”
This first edition book is brand new, unread and in pristine condition. The book comes in a new, pristine condition dust jacket. The book has no wear. The interior is clean and the pages are in excellent, bright white condition. There isn’t a mark in the book. The book contains a forward, introduction, list of maps, two Appendices, a bibliographic essay and it is indexed. 141 pages. A brand new, first edition book.
