Bag om My Life On The Plains Or, Personal Experiences With Indians

My Life on the Plains is a memoir written by George Armstrong Custer, a United States Army officer who served during the American Civil War and the Indian Wars. The book is a first-hand account of Custer's experiences with Native American tribes during his time as a cavalry officer in the western United States. Custer's memoir covers a wide range of topics, including his interactions with various tribes, his observations of their customs and traditions, and his thoughts on the government's policies towards Native Americans. He also provides detailed descriptions of battles and skirmishes with Native American warriors, including the Battle of Washita River, which he led in 1868. Throughout the book, Custer portrays himself as a brave and honorable soldier, committed to defending the interests of the United States and its citizens. However, his views on Native Americans are often colored by stereotypes and prejudices common at the time, and his actions during the Indian Wars have been criticized for their brutality and disregard for human rights. Despite its controversial subject matter, My Life on the Plains is an important historical document that sheds light on the complex and often violent relationship between Native Americans and the United States government during the 19th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
