Wagon Master: 1876 Sioux War Diary (Expanded, Annotated)

Product Description

Matthew Carroll was one of the first on the scene of the disastrous defeat of General George Armstrong Custer and his 7th Cavalry at the Battle of the Little Bighorn. Carroll was the wagon master supplying the forces of Colonel John Gibbon on the Yellowstone in the summer of 1876 and here is the diary he kept of that eventful summer and fall. Along with his observations of Custer and his men, Carroll provides insights into the difficulties of supplying such a large force over difficult terrain and what it was like being in the camps of the frontier army. Used as source material for nearly every serious Custer book, this diary stands on its own as a fascinating look into a crucial period of American History. Every memoir of the American West provides us with another view of the westward expansion that changed the country forever.
