Wraps. Zustand: Good. 55, [1] plus covers. Scarce original edition (subsequently revised in 1965 ). Table I The Seventh Regiment of Cavalry--Officers of the Regiment--June, 1876. This booklet has been prepared as a source of sketch information concerning some of the participants in the Sioux Expedition of 1876 and the Little Bighorn River fight. Names are alphabetically indexed by last name except Indian names which are indexed alphabetically by firs name. For various reasons there were instances of names recorded incorrectly in official records in the National Archives and in unofficial records. Study has been given to fining the correct name but, in some instances, this has been impossible to determine with certainty. It is needless to say that this first effort is not exhaustive. Brief biographical information in included on nearly 150 individuals. Some are only a few lines. The entries for Custer, Reno, Benteen and some others are, of course, fuller. Edward S. Luce was the Custer Battlefield Park Superintendent January 6, 1941 to May 1, 1956. Major Edward S. Luce was an actual veteran of the 7th Cavalry having served from 1907 to 1910, Company B. Prior to arriving at the Custer Battlefield Luce spent several months in training at the Arlington National Cemetery and in 1941 he became the first National Park Superintendent. Perhaps no other superintendent was more qualified for the job than Edward Luce who had a deep interest in the battle. Luce's passion for the Custer fight earned him the reputation as an authority on the battle and in 1938 he published, Keogh, Comanche and Custer. The Battle of the Little Bighorn, known to the Lakota and other Plains Indians as the Battle of the Greasy Grass and also commonly referred to as Custer's Last Stand, was an armed engagement between combined forces of the Lakota, Northern Cheyenne, and Arapaho tribes and the 7th Cavalry Regiment of the United States Army. The battle, which resulted in the defeat of U.S. forces, was the most significant action of the Great Sioux War of 1876. It took place on June 25-26, 1876, along the Little Bighorn River in the Crow Indian Reservation in southeastern Montana Territory. The fight was an overwhelming victory for the Lakota, Northern Cheyenne, and Arapaho, who were led by several major war leaders, including Crazy Horse and Chief Gall, and had been inspired by the visions of Sitting Bull (T at á ka Íyotake). The U.S. 7th Cavalry, a force of 700 men, suffered a major defeat while commanded by Lieutenant Colonel George Armstrong Custer (formerly a brevetted major general during the American Civil War). Five of the 7th Cavalry's twelve companies were annihilated and Custer was killed, as were two of his brothers, a nephew, and a brother-in-law. The total U.S. casualty count included 268 dead and 55 severely wounded (six died later from their wounds), including four Crow Indian scouts and at least two Arikara Indian scouts. Public response to the Great Sioux War varied in the immediate aftermath of the battle. Libbie Custer, Custer's widow, soon worked to burnish her husband's memory, and during the following decades Custer and his troops came to be considered iconic, even heroic, figures in American history. The battle, and Custer's actions in particular, have been studied extensively by historians. Little Bighorn Battlefield National Monument honors those who fought on both sides. Edward S. Luce Memorial Edition--presumed first edition/first printing anywhere.
