GENERAL STANLEY, CUSTER’S
COMMANDER IN 1873:
“ PLACED CUSTER UNDER ARREST ! ”
TWICE !!!
Folks, As many of you know, I search old museums, bookstores, cellars and attics for seldom read and rarely found stories of the old west. Here is an untold story entitled “GENERAL DAVID STANLEY, FRONTIER SOLDIER, by Samuel Stanley. Seldom do the old western frontier stories “tell it like it was” but in this old soldier’s biography, no words were spared about Custer - who the General called “a cold-blooded, untruthful and unprincipled man….” - Here is a real soldier’s story. He refused a Confederate Commission, fought against a man who saved his life, name of J. E. B. Stuart.
STANLEY was awarded his country’s highest tribute
The Medal of Honor.
Please read this. There were many a western story published – the common ones about Cowboys and Indians are listed on Ebay every day but the rarer ones about the pioneer soldiers of the old west like this one are 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 of the Indian Wars 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. If I can contribute to finding one little name or photo of that long lost ancestor you have been waiting to find, it’s worth all the time I spend.

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 western magazine of many years ago. This Yearbook issue is in great condition, the cover is in vibrant color.And I intend to hold cost down while I can.
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.
