Custer Passed Our Way 

by Fred S. Kaufman

Condition; good, minor shelf wear on dust jacket over hard cover

North Plains Press, 1971

The arrival of the 7th Cavalry at Yankton, Dakota Territory in early spring 1873, started a chain of events that ultimately led to Custer’s last stand. This story tells of a German emigrant, August Kaufman, homesteader, freighter and government surveyor who had an important and exciting part in what could be called the first chapter of Custer’s trip to the Little Big Horns.

Written by August Kaufman’s son, Fred S. Kaufman who provides more insight into the travels of the 7th cavalry and our pioneer west. Fine first hand account.
