341Journal Aug 17 CUSTER'S LAST CHARGE Colonel Cody and Nate Salsbury presented to the public last night the addition they have long had under consideration and preparation to the interesting and attractive features of Buffalo Bill's Wild West and Congress of Rough Riders of the World. It is a mimic representation of the "Battle of the Little Big Horn," or "Custer's Last Charge." There was nothing left [under....?] the presentation, and the large and representative audience in attendance was greatly gratified and highly entertained. Many of the participants in last night's production were among the original actors in the campaign of 1876 against the Indians that resulted in the merciless massacre of Custer and his band. The white horse used by Sergeant Southmaid, who represented General Custer, is one that had been presented to Sitting Bull by Colonel Cody, and was bought by him from the heirs of the dead chief after the battle of Wounded Knee, when Sitting Bull was killed. In the audience were General Merritt and Major Randall of the United States army, under whom Colonel Cody served as a scout on the plains just after the war of '61 and '65. Other army officers noticed in the boxes and in the audience were: Captain F. James, Thirteenth Infantry. | 341 |
