“The Treaty of 1868 in Article 16, declared the country of the North Platte and the Big Horn Mountains to be “unseeded territory” and provided that no white man should settle upon it or travel through it without the consent of the Indians.”

The Territory Was Owned By The Indians

It was as simple as that.

“The Warriors, we have everything to live for, and if we are defeated we shall have nothing to live for; therefore let us fight like brave men..”

Sitting Bull.

CUSTER WAS NOT MASSACRED

By Dr. Charles Alexander Eastman


It is not for me to judge this story and it’s content. I must confess it is the most revealing writing of the Indian’s history of the Little Big Horn. The author and this story has been encumbered by an editor’s title. Most others looked at the title and passed it by. Humbly, I did not and I am very glad that I did and can pass this Indian version of the Battle of the Little Big Horn. Among the most fascinating records is the genealogical history of the Indian warriors. I cannot remember a more thorough recitation. This convinced me of the authenticity of the author’s research.

FACTUAL REPRESENTATION

OF OUR WESTERN TREASURES

Folks, normally I skip over the “way out” theories about the Indian Wars. This unusual story, however, attracted my attention because of the detail of genealogical names of our native American Indians. Regardless of what the “white man” pledged in writing – all that changed when Gold was discovered in the Black Hills. Cries of “Remove the Indians to Indian Territory” sounded disregarding the fact that the Indians were already on their own land. Authorities sought to persuade the Indians to allow the white man on the land. Chief Spotted Tail agreed. Chief Red Cloud position was clouded. Crazy Horse and his followers and Sitting Bull were adamant.

“They would kill any white man who might be found in their country without authority from them.” From there, the story became even more interesting.

Please read this. There were many a western story published – the common ones about Cowboys and Indians are listed on Ebay every day but ta rare one presenting the Indian version of the Battle of The Little Big Horn like this one is seldom found. Collectors treasure them and their price guide value rises every day. They are hard to find. I hunt them out because really the better, untold and rarer stories were published in the rest.

Here’s one of ‘em.

Following my retirement, I have dedicated my remaining hours to indexing the Genealogy of our western pioneers. During my research, I discovered that thousands of our kinfolk lay unfound and unrecognized on some book dealer’s shelf. Because Old Western History and Memorabilia was printed before computer indexing, I index every item I sell.

This complete index will be bound and included in this offering at no additional cost.

Humbly, I am trying to keep our history alive

I hope you appreciate the effort.

Folks, sooner or later - Genealogists are going to realize that their family kinfolks are laying on some dealer's dusty shelves.
