Verso with ink inscription, "Encampment of the late Gen. Custer on the Plains in the Black Hills," above faint, nearly illegible inscription in purple reading, "Custer and his [indecipherable] men were killed by the Modock [sic] Indians in the Lava Beds." Also inscribed to verso, in pencil, is the photographer's name "Illingworth."
