The Teepee Book Vol. II. No. VI. "A magazine devoted to the INDIANS and the WEST." Custer High Spots says, "The June, 1916, issue of The Teepee Book contains much of interest. Col. Henry Hall writes of the reminiscences of John Sivertsen, who was a trooper in Captain French's company in the valley fight with Reno. It also contains the accounts of Crow scouts White Man Runs Him, Hairy Moccasin, Curley and Goes Ahead and is our High Spot 79." "A classic on the Custer Battle and a must for the Little Big Horn student and collector. This issue was originally published to celebrate the fortieth anniversary of the battle, then was reprinted ten years later as the 1926 official program for the fiftieth anniversary. It includes many articles on the battle by authors such as Herbert Coffeen, Charles Eastman, Edward Godfrey, and D. F. Barry, as well as the accounts of four of the Crow scouts."-O'Keefe 7614.
