Owens FACTUAL REPRESENTATION OF OUR WESTERN TREASURES “Overlooked by history, despite the publicity surrounding his death, that there was another survivor of the Custer battle”. Documented here is that story – along with some very interesting fact, figures and map of the 7th Cavalry. Folks, contrary to what has been written in the past, Comanche was not the only survivor of the Custer stand. This story by Harry J. Owens documents other survivors. Here, he claims that 140 horses were unaccounted for – some just escaping and others captured by the Indians. However, four were found and written about: Billy, Comanche, Vic and Dandy. Also in this piece are some interesting tidbits of the “Battle of the Washita,” facts and dates of Custer’s various commands and important information on the formation and strength of the unit at the time it swung into The Battle of the Little Big Horn. Very informative. Please read this. There were many a western story published – the common ones about Cowboys and Indians are listed on eCRATER every day but the rarer ones like this one about Billy, another horse that survived the Battle of the Little Bighorn, are seldom found. Collectors treasure them and their price guide value rises every day. They are hard to find. I hunt them out because really the better, untold and rarer stories were published in the rest. Here’s one of ‘em. FOLLOWING PURCHASE AND PAYMENT, IF YOU WILL WRITE ME OF YOUR SPECIAL NAME OR INTEREST, I WILL DO A FREE SEARCH OF MY UNINDEXED STORIES AND NAMES. GENEALOGYIMAGESOFHISTORY IF I FIND SOMETHING THAT I THINK MERITS YOUR INTEREST, I WILL WRITE A REVIEW AND PLACE IT ON eCRATER AND GIVE YOU NOTICE AND A HEAD START TO BUYITNOW! Following my retirement, I have dedicated my remaining hours to indexing the Genealogy of our western pioneers. During my research, I discovered that thousands of our kinfolk lay unfound and unrecognized on some book dealer’s shelf. Because Old Western History and Memorabilia was printed before computer indexing, I index every item I sell. This complete index will be bound and included in this offering at no additional cost. Humbly, I am trying to keep our history alive I hope you appreciate the effort. Folks, sooner or later - Genealogists are going to realize that their family kinfolks are laying on some dealer's dusty shelves. If I can contribute to finding one little name or photo of that long lost ancestor you have been waiting to find, it’s worth all the time I spend. ANOTHER SURVIVOR OF THE CUSTER BATTLE By Harry J.

OwensCUSTER MEMORABILIAIS RAPIDLY DISAPPEARING While others clip ads from magazines, I save history. It’s a shame that our past is being lost. It’s as simple as that. My wife kids me that after I find a piece I like, buy it, read it, research it, take a picture, scan it, write the blurb, pay the eCRATER entry fee and commission, that I end up making about 50 cents an hour. But, OH HOW I LOVE THIS OLD WESTERN HISTORY. What a story, Rare Story!!! Great Pictures. You will love it as it was published in this old complete western magazine of many years ago. The issue is in excellent condition, the cover is in vibrant color. As clearly stated in my description, this is featured story in a commonly found but seldom read complete western magazine. I don't give out name of publication or date because I have caught competitors copying my index and work and trying to sell it as theirs. I hope you understand. Buyer pays postage of $3.50 First Class Postage to U. S.; $4.75 Priority; $4.50 to Canada; $11.00 for International Mail. Texans must pay 8-¼ % sales tax.
