First edition. 8vo. Cloth, [12], 356 pp., 8 plates, frontispiece. The author presents the life of Thomas H. Leforge, as told to him during numerous visits with Leforge. He grew up in Missouri and emigrated, with his parents to Montana in 1864. Leforge spent the next 15 years scouting with the military and living among the Crow Indians. Much information on the traditions, beliefs, social customs, and daily life of the Crow. Also offers information on various military campaigns against the Cheyenne and Sioux; including the 1876 campaign which culminated in the Battle of Little Bighorn, with much on Custer, Miles, Gibbon, Lt. Bradley, Terry, and Crook, several of whom were served by Leforge and other Crow scouts. His story remains a remarkably accurate source of historical and ethnological information on this relatively little known tribe.
