George Armstrong Custer and the Royal Buffalo Hunt of 1872
Publisher Description
Already established as an Indian fighter on the Great Plains, Lieutenant Colonel George Armstrong Custer's 1872 visit to Nebraska wasn't for war, but for entertainment. It was here the former Civil War Major General met the Grand Duke Alexis of Russia and Buffalo Bill Cody to engage in what is possibly the best-known big game hunt in the history of the world. After Custer's tragic death in 1876, Cody incorporated the buffalo hunt into his famous Wild West Show.
