Description:
8 pp. 54x36 cm (21¼x14¼"). Volume 3, No. 21 (July 13, 1876).
Features an early report in the "Telegraphic News" section on General Custer's last stand and total defeat at the Battle of Little Bighorn. The article takes up a third of a column, and compared to later accounts, the report is remarkably dispassionate and laconic (though the third headline does read "300 Men Slaughtered by the Savages!").
Condition
Wear at edges; previous ownership marks; light toning and foxing; very good.
