Folks, sooner or later - Genealogists are going to realize that their family kinfolks are laying on some dealer's dusty shelves. If I can contribute to finding one little name or photo of that long lost ancestor you have been waiting to find, - its worth all the time I spend.
DAY GENERAL CROOK MET HIS MATCH
OLD INDIAN WAR MEMORABILIA
IS RAPIDLY DISAPPEARING
Folks, the Sioux and Cheyenne were itching for a fight; the Army for a show-down….and on that fateful morning of June 17th both met their match along the banks of the Rosebud Creek. Here’s an example of our history being lost. Named in this story by Samuel Stanley are many U. S. Cavalrymen and Infantry soldiers whose names have not been recorded. How sweet it is to contribute to history the names of those previously lost. Yep, I have spent hours indexing them below:
I hope you find one of your ancestors below.
Our valiant U. S. Army was instructed to clear the Indians off their rightful land in the Black Hills. Trouble was, the dog-gone land was full of gold and them old western pioneers went crazy when they thought they could fill their pockets with ore. Well, naturally, the Indians took umbrage and decided to duke it out once and for all. The U. S. Cavalry (on mules) under General Edward Crook is here recorded and unfortunately, for him:
IT WAS THE DAY THE GENEAL MET HIS MATCH!
Please read this. There were many a western story published – the common ones about cowboy and Indians are listed on Ebay every day but the rarer ones like this great detailed actual history of an important fight in our battle on the western frontier are seldom found. Collectors treasure them and their price guide value rises every day. They are hard to find. I hunt them out cause 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.

While others clip ads from magazines, I save history. It’s a shame that our past is being lost. It’s as simple as that.
What a story, Rare Story!!! Great Pictures. You will love it as it was published in this old complete, seldom found and unusual western magazine of many years ago. The issue is in good condition, the cover is in vibrant color.
As clearly stated in my description, this is featured story in a rarely found and seldom read unusual and complete western magazine. I don't give out name of publication or date because I have caught competitors copying my index and work and trying to sell it as theirs. I hope you understand.
