Lot Description
[CUSTER, Elizabeth Bacon (1842-1933)]. LIBBY, O. G., editor. The Arikara Narrative of the Campaign Against the Hostile Dakotas June, 1876. Bismarck, ND: n.p., 1920.
8vo. Frontispiece, maps and plates. Publisher's cloth, spine gilt-lettered (extremities lightly rubbed). Provenance: Elizabeth Custer (signature).
FIRST EDITION, ELIZABETH CUSTER'S COPY, SIGNED BY HER. The work comprises vol. VI of the North Dakota Historical Collections, and includes personal accounts of the Arikara Indians, who served as scouts for Custer. "There has been no volume published on Custer's last fight of more interest than this. While it requires a careful analytical study, it furnishes a surprising number of facts which before its publication were unknown." (Dustin).
