The smoke and dust had barely cleared from the Little Bighorn battlefield when, just shy of 90 days later, Frank Mulford joined the famous 7th Cavalry. The young Mulford met and fought alongside all of the survivors of the Little Bighorn: Captain Frederick Benteen, Captain Tucker French, Lieutenant Charles Varnum, Captain Edward Godfrey, and others whose names are now well-known to Custer students. Slightly one year after the Little Bighorn battle, Mulford was on the march with General Nelson Miles and Colonel Samuel Sturgis in pursuit of Chief Joseph. In this lively and humorous memoir, Mulford presents a real inside view of 7th Cavalry life. Not the glory or the heroic so much as the mud and the blood. "My bunkie and I bought some eggs—so we thought—from the steamboat Far West, and the eggs proved to be too far west." After surviving his first trial by fire in the battle with the Nez Perce, Mulford was seriously injured when his horse stumbled and fell on him. He eventually lost the use of both legs at the young age of 24 but somehow managed to retain his sense of humor to write this valuable addition to 7th Cavalry history. Like many Americans of his time, Mulford was a Custer worshiper and pined for the old commander whom he never met. But his account of cavalry life is a long-forgotten treasure of western history. For less than you'd spend on gas going to the library, this long out-of-print volume is available as an affordable, well-formatted book for e-readers and smartphones.

An American Indian War campaign by a serving soldier The action of this book takes place within a cavalry regiment no longer under the command of the flamboyant George Armstrong Custer. Little time had elapsed since he, together with most of his command had been wiped out at the battle of Little Big Horn by the Plains Indians under the inspirational leadership of Sitting Bull. In 1876, the young author of this book, out of work, luck and money found himself in the recruiting office of the United States Army at Leavenworth, Kansas and so began the process that transformed him into Trumpeter A. F Mulford, Co. M, 7th U. S. Cavalry. The apocalyptic nature of the Indian victory over Custer's force had spelt their doom and the sands of time of their way of life were now fast running out. Sitting Bull had been captured and hostile bands were being ruthlessly hunted down. Chief Joseph of the Nez Perces gathered together a substantial force of armed warriors and their dependents to effect an exodus to Canada. Miles and his force pursued and this short but significant episode became Mulford's military adventure and the narrative of his essential text. Available in soft cover and hard back with dust jacket.

For most Americans, the Battle of the Little Bighorn is epitomized during the final minutes of the film "They Died With Their Boots On."1 In this account, the noble and dashing Lieutenant Colonel George Armstrong Custer, played by Errol Flynn, and the U.S. 7th Cavalry are pitted against an enormous band of savage and bloodthirsty Indians. Custer realizes that his command is hopelessly outnumbered and an attack on the Indians will certainly lead to its annihilation, but he also knows that if he fails to attack the army column led by General Alfred Terry will be doomed to destruction. In the grand tradition of military sacrifice for the greater good, Custer purposely leads his loyal men into an ambush prepared by thousands of Sioux braves. Within moments, the cavalrymen are completely encircled by hordes of horse-mounted Indians, who rain scores of arrows and spears on the beleaguered troopers. The brave soldiers kill many Indians as they ride "carousel like" around the troopers, but the sheer number of Sioux warriors dwindle the number of cavalrymen standing until only Custer and several loyal men remain valiantly fighting. Finally, the mounted Indians charge in an overwhelming attack and slay the last man standing, George Armstrong Custer.
