1876 Sioux War Diary of Private Eugene Geant (Expanded, Annotated)
1876 Sioux War Diary of Private Eugene Geant (Expanded, Annotated)
1876 Sioux War Diary puts you on the march with the men who walked into history-and into the aftermath of the Little Bighorn.
In the summer of 1876, Private Eugene Geant of the 7th U.S. Infantry marched across Montana Territory with General John Gibbon's Montana Column, moving to join the famed 7th Cavalry and Lt. Col. George Armstrong Custer during the Great Sioux War. Day by day, Geant recorded what it was really like to be an enlisted man on the frontier: the endless miles from Fort Shaw, brutal weather swings from late snow to blistering heat, starvation rations, soaked uniforms with no tents, and the constant labor of scouting, guarding, and making camp.
On June 27, 1876, Geant and his comrades reached the valley of the Little Bighorn and discovered Custer's destroyed command. His diary captures the shock and horror of that moment, as well as the exhausting work of caring for the wounded and getting them to the steamboat Far West. Along the way, he notes the grim humor, small comforts, and everyday routines that kept frontier soldiers going in one of the most famous campaigns in American military history.
This edition includes an introduction that reconstructs Eugene Geant's life and later service-through his early death at Fort Logan, Colorado-and explains how his rare diary survived to be published. For readers of the Indian Wars, the Battle of the Little Bighorn, and 19th-century soldier life, 1876 Sioux War Diary offers an authentic, boots-on-the-ground account from a private who was there.
