Custer''s Gold - The United States Cavalry Expedition of 1874

William Illingworth's original photographs of the expedition, reproduced here, were almost as influential as reports of the expedition in luring prospectors to the Black Hills.

Summary

The white settlers had little interest in the semiarid land assigned to the Sioux under the Treaty of 1868 and, for a time, the Indians enjoyed their domain in relative peace. This title tells the story of the expedition and its effect on relations with the Sioux from government documents, including material from the National Archives.
