Synopsis

Ambush on the Great Plains A DISPATCH TO CUSTER tells the story of Lieutenant Lyman Kidder, a young soldier sent on a mission in 1867 to deliver orders to Lieutenant Colonel George Armstrong Custer. En route a band of Sioux and Cheyenne ambushed Kidder and his party, killing all eleven soldiers and an Indian guide. Custer discovered their mutilated bodies a few days later near modern-day Goodland, Kansas, and ordered they be buried in a common grave. When Kidder's father was notified of his son's death he began the difficult task of recovering his son's remains. Told mainly through the letters of Kidder's family and military colleagues, Johnson's and Allan's account conveys a rare intimacy, while the author's careful analysis and insightful interpretation fill out the story. Now Available in both Hard and Softcover editions.
