Description: Two Prominent Survivors of the Custer Battle on the Little Big Horn, Montana June 25, 1876 When General George Armstrong Custer and His Entire Command of 212 Men Lost Their Lives Title: Two Prominent Survivors of the Custer Battle on the Little Big Horn, Montana June 25, 1876 When General George Armstrong Custer and His Entire Command of 212 Men Lost Their Lives Publication: Hardin, Montana: Compliments of Dr. W.A. Russell, Circa 1920 Description: Leaflet measuring 6.25 x 3.25", printed on card stock, featuring a title page, followed by two tipped in original photographs measuring approx 4.5 x 2.5" on the interior pages, followed by the imprint on the back page. The images are by an unknown photographer, likely Dr. Thomas B. Marquis, a Hardin resident who took many images of the nearby Crow and Cheyenne. The photos capture two survivors, now elderly, of the Battle of the Little Big Horn--"White Man Runs Him 66 Years Old, living near Lodge Grass, Montana," and "Brave Bear 73 Years Old Now Living at Thomas, Oklahoma." The former was a Crow scout who served with Custer, and the latter was active in the fighting against Custer, likely the man who killed Captain Myles Keogh, and wounded his famous horse Comanche. Both are shown in ceremonial dress and wearing headdresses. Hint of toning, small area of foxing to front cover, 1.75 inch split along lower portion of fold.
