Carroll died in the summer of 1990 and left behind a vast body of work that added greatly to the scholarly study of Custer, and his writings should be considered the equal of Graham, Kuhlman, Brininstool, et al. Carroll devoted much of his life to the study of George Armstrong Custer, and wrote or edited many books on the subject. On his death his collection passed to his long time friend and associate Robert Aldrich, and it was finally sold at auction around 1996 by PBA. Material from his collection is now scarce on the open market. Item No: 188994. £45 Boston Daily Globe 1909. Stories of General Custer. Manuscript. John M. Carroll. This document has been compiled by John M. Carroll. He has even gone so far as to insert hand drawn original illustrations which have been signed by D. D. Moore. The piece starts with Carroll telling some stories and giving some history on General Custer. Carroll introduces this by praising Custer and noting down his strengths such as 'He was quick to decide and quick to execute'. He then goes on to focus on Custer's early life in which he examines it closely, and then his rise to General at such a young age. Carroll writes in a really good biographical way to explain Custer's life and this information spans over 38 pages which include 3 hand drawn illustrations on card all stuck to the pages with cellotape.Next comes the section from Boston Evening Records 1884.

After the death of Crazy Horse, the Oglalas were trapped on the reservation , surrounded by a growing, dominant, white man’s world. Young Man Afraid sought ways for his people to adapt peacefully to the changing world of the reservation rather than trying to restore the grandeur of the old life through obstructionist politics.

FREEDOM Copyright © 1984 by the South Dakota State Historical Society. All Rights Reserved. Moving Men and Supplies 115 In the twenty-five years after the Civil War, the northern Great Plains was transformed from a frontier with limited trans- portation into a settled region with a complex transportation in- frastructure. In any assessment of this landscape modification, the military presence deserves consideration as an agent of change. In this period, 1866 to 1891, the army organized the terri- tories of Dakota and Montana into the Military Department of Dakota and established a network of forts that extended from the Red River to the Rockies and from the Canadian border to the Platte River (Figure 1). The isolation and vast distances between the individual forts on the northern Great Plains, and between this network and supply depots in the East, necessitated a com- plex transportation system to move men and materials. In order to facilitate these logistical operations, the military built a sys- tem of roads while protecting and utilizing established trails, waterways, and rail networks. Although the army had its own means of transport, for reasons of economy it preferred to em- 0 ver land freight wagons drawn by mules, 1885 Copyright © 1984 by the South Dakota State Historical Society.

Various modes of commercial transportation were used, in- cluding freight wagons, stage coaches, riverboats, and railroads.

  • Montana Governor Response
    OFFICE OF THE GOVERNOR STATE OF MONTANA STEVE BULLOCK MIKE COONEY GOVERNOR LT. GOVERNOR August 28, 2020 The Honorable David Bernhardt Secretary of the Interior U.S. Department of the Interior 1849 C St. NW Washington, DC 20240 Dear Secretary Bernhardt: Thank you for your letter regarding the proposed National Garden of American Heroes and the request for potential locations, statues, and recommendations of Montana heroes. Montana has an abundance of public lands and spaces as well as heroes that we cherish and are worth considering as your Task Force contemplates the National Garden. I am aware that Yellowstone County, our state's largest county by population has put forward a thoughtful proposal that I hope will be given your full consideration. I would suggest that as you further develop selection criteria for the location and the heroes to include in the garden that you undertake a more robust consultation effort with county, tribal and local governments, as I am sure that other localities in the state may have an interest but may not be aware of the opp01iunity. Should Montana be chosen for the National Garden, my administration would be happy to assist with identifying further potential locations within the state, connecting you with local officials, as well as identifying any existing statues for the garden. The Big Sky State has a long, proud history dating well before statehood of men and women who have contributed greatly to both our state and nation. To provide a comprehensive list of Montanans deserving recognition would be nearly impossible. However, I have consulted with the Montana Historical Society, and they have recommended a short list, attached, of Montana heroes who would represent our state and its values well.

Reeves A Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts in History with an Emphasis in Public History Middle Tennessee State University May 2017 Thesis Committee: Dr. Carroll Van West, chair Dr. Ashley Riley Sousa ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Rob, without whose love and support this would not have been possible. Thank you for pushing me when I thought I couldn’t go on. Holly, who was always there to commiserate and who had an uncanny ability to know when I was procrastinating. My friends in Montana, who introduced me to Crow culture and showed me so much kindness and generosity while we worked together: Wendy Red Star, Kaneeta Red Star Harris, Virgil Buffalo, Bernadette Smith, Doug Habermann, Michael Hunsaker, Michael Norton, Ruth Ferris, Miriam Smith, Angela Russell, Jonathan and Raylene Pretty On Top, Tim Bernardis, and Jon Ille. And those friends I haven’t even met in person, but who have provided me invaluable information about the collection, Aaron Kind and Chris Dantic. I would’ve been lost without you! And of course, Dr. Van West and Dr. Ashley Riley Sousa, who both provided guidance, wisdom, and boundless amounts of patience. I feel incredibly honored to have worked with both of you over the past four years, and am more grateful to you than you could possibly know. ii ABSTRACT Alaxchiiaahush, Plenty Coups, was the final chief of the Crow people. His spiritual vision quest as a young man showed him that cooperation with the coming White settlers was the only way to survive, and he led the Crow people through the assimilation of the reservation period.

Denver Public Library, Neg. No. X-31935. Figure 2. (Lower) Sitting Bull while a prisoner-of-war at Fort Randall, D.T. Drawing by Rudolf Cronau, 25 October 1881. Lamplin-Wunderlich Gallery, New York City. (Upper) A drawing by Sitting Bull while he was at Fort Randall, 1882 (National Anthropological Archives, Cat. No. INV 08589900). His horses are heavy-bodied; and his human hands are drawn with the four fingers and thumb extended. These details are radically different than the figures in the Wilkins Ledger, demon- strating that Sitting Bull could not have been the artist. Figure 3. Historical marker at the abandoned site of La Grace, Dakota Territory, testifying to the sometime presence there of Sitting Bull, as a visitor. Charles A. Wilkins was a Justice of the Peace in Campbell County, in which La Grace was located. He told his family that the ledger of drawings was a gift to him from Sitting Bull, after he allowed the chief to sleep overnight as a guest in the jail at La Grace, when no other accomodations were available.
