Sheridan accompanied the second expedition, when we established Camp Supplu, and the 7th Cav then under Custer took the field and fought the Battle of Washita, etc." He concludes by ordering Wright's book: " I am Commander of the Order of Indian Wars and also its Historian, so I am after data for the Society . . .Those were great old times out there. . . .".…
